"Don't believe it!" laughed Peskov, speaking about Mishustin's resignation after criticizing Putin.

Press secretary of the President of Russia Dmitry Peskov noted with a smile that one should not believe the arguments in Telegram channels about the possibility of personnel changes in the government of the Russian Federation headed by Mikhail Mishustin or his resignation, calling such information "traditional fun."

"This is traditional fun in Telegram channels. Don't believe it!" — the Kremlin representative laughed, answering the question of journalist Alexander Yunashev whether any changes in the government are planned after the president's recent critical remarks about economic growth.

As EADaily reported, on April 15, at a meeting on economic issues, Russian President Vladimir Putin demanded that the government and the Central Bank explain the reasons for the lagging macroeconomic indicators from expectations. Putin noted a decline in GDP by 1.8% in the first two months of the year and drew attention to the fact that manufacturing, industrial production and construction "turned out to be in the red."
