The son of a senior Kremlin official has suggested he would dodge being called up for Putin's war drive after falling for a prank call.
Nikolay Peskov, 32, son of the president’s spin-doctor and war spokesman Dmitry Peskov, made the embarrassing comments this week while believing he was talking to a military recruitment officer.
It follows Vladimir Putin's announcement on Wednesday of a "partial military mobilisation" of the Russian army following a series of military losses in Ukraine.
