The daughter of Vladimir Putin’s spokesman is working in the European parliament as a trainee for a French nationalist politician allied to Nigel Farage.
Aymeric Chauprade, who supported Russia’s annexation of Crimea, confirmed that his trainee was the daughter of Dmitry Peskov, Vladimir Putin’s chief spokesman.
“I confirm she is the daughter of Mr Peskov, but for me she is only a student in France and a good trainee,” Chauprade wrote in an statement to the Guardian.
“(She) is a trainee studying law and international relations in France. The European parliament has validated twice the contract and all procedures have been respected.”
Hitting out against “conspiratorial Russophobia”, Chauprade added: “I make the difference between a person and his family. These are our western values.”
