When asked by the journalist whether Moscow had seen any signals from the Georgian state that relations with Russia would be established, Peskov said: "We have seensignals from the crowd, signals from the authorities that were present in this crowd. We have seen these signals; we didn’t like them. You have felt it in Georgia. " “Let's continue to live without such signals,” Peskov called on.
