The Kremlin spokesman would like other sentiments.

Kremlin speaker Dmitri Peskov complained that there are countries with which Russia has had a "deficit of friendly feelings" for centuries. He was quoted by Russian media.

In this regard, he named Poland and the Baltic states, which, he said, for some reason "fear Russia and demonize it," which is "a big mistake."

"Take Poland, for example. We do have problems with Poland. We really have problems with the Baltics. They are always afraid of us for some reason, they demonize us. Everyone who comes to power there begins to hate Russia and Russians," Peskov complained.

According to him, this attitude toward Russia is a big mistake.
