On the 8th local time, Russian President's Press Secretary Peskov responded at a regular briefing regarding the attack on Russia's gas supply infrastructure to Turkey, stating, "The Kyiv regime continues to demonstrate aggression and tendencies towards terrorist attacks against international critical energy infrastructure, which is a very dangerous act." The Russian side is taking maximum measures to reduce the dangers posed by such attacks and expects Turkey and other countries to pay attention.

In response to the Baltic states' plan to lift the ban on the deployment of nuclear weapons within their territories, Peskov pointed out that such decisions will not enhance the security of the relevant countries, but will significantly increase the level of danger, and the Russian side will take countermeasures to ensure its own interests.

Regarding the International Olympic Committee's temporary restoration of the Russian Olympic Committee's membership, Peskov stated that this is an important step in restoring Russia's legitimate rights in the international Olympic movement, and he hopes that various international sports federations will follow the relevant recommendations, while the Russian side will continue to strive for the full restoration of its rights.

On the recent fluctuations in the Russian stock market, Peskov stated that the government is paying attention to this issue, and a meeting between the president and government members on the 8th will discuss economic development topics. (Reporter: Hao Wei, CCTV)
