Kremlin Spokesman Dismisses Russian Director's Criticism at Cannes Film Festival

Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov dismissed criticism from a Russian film director at the Cannes Film Festival, telling the director "you have nothing to say." Peskov claimed that President Vladimir Putin does not have internet access or time to follow such comments, suggesting the Kremlin spokesman shields Putin from outside criticism. The exchange highlights tensions between Russian cultural figures and the Kremlin, particularly as many Russian artists have faced restrictions or have criticized the government's policies.
