A Moscow radio station is reporting that a spokesman for Russian President Vladimir Putin has likened actresses who claimed sexual abuse by former producer Harvey Weinstein to “prostitutes.”
Spokesman Dmitry Peskov made the remarks in an unofficial capacity while speaking to students in Moscow. The statement was part of an awkward defense in response to a question regarding a senior member of the Russian Parliament who has been accused of sexual harassment.
Leonid Slutsky, head of the foreign affairs committee in Parliament’s lower house, the State Duma, has been accused of making lewd sexual comments and groping by members of the Western media covering Russia.

Manchester City host Cska Moscow hoping that the return fixture in this fourth game of Champions League group D is not marred by racist abuse. Yaya Toure was targeted by Russian supporters in their last meeting and that led to widespread condemnation and a UEFA partial stadium ban.
Sergio Aguero struck twice to sink Cska in October and another win for Manuel Pellegrini’s team at the Etihad would take them onto nine points. Joe Hart will remain on the bench after losing place to rangy Romanian stopper Costel Pantilimon following several high profile errors.
City captain Vincent Kompany and Stevan Jovetic will definitely miss out with groin and calf injuries respectively. The hosts come into this contest in fine form having smashed struggling Norwich 7-0 in the Premier League on Saturday.
Cska meanwhile came from behind to win their weekend league fixture at Volga Nizhny Novgorod.
