Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov indicated that President Vladimir Putin is pained by the tragedy of the "Krokus" attack and other tragedies experienced by the Russian people, and that the absence of tears in his eyes does not mean he does not suffer. Peskov stated in an interview with "Russia 1": "The president usually keeps his sorrow inside, and if you don't see tears on his face, that doesn't mean he is not pained by the people's suffering or saddened by what has happened."
