 While Peskov's son was fighting in Ukraine, his Tesla was violating traffic laws in Moscow. Fines were issued on a Tesla car belonging to Nikolai Kolz, son of Dmitry Peskov, the Russian President's press secretary at a time when he was allegedly fighting in Ukraine. Medusa Outlet informed about it with reference to Russian Telegram channels. Yevgeny Prigozhin, founder of the Wagner Group, claimed that Peskov's son had fought in Ukraine. Prigozhin did not name the person but specified that he had spent part of his life in the United States or England. Dmitry Peskov's eldest son, 33-year-old Nikolai Kolz, who lived in the UK for 10 years and returned to Russia in 2011-2012, fits this description Medusa writes. Prigozhin said he had admitted Peskov's son to the private military company using forged documents, changing his last name, first name, and patronymic. He was trained, served six months under a contract, and went on leave. In an interview he gave to Komsomolskaya Pravda, Nikolai Kolz said that his father had helped him join the Wagner Group at the beginning of the full-scale war in Ukraine. According to him, he joined the Wagner Group under a false name which he did not reveal, saying that it might still be needed. Peskov's son claims that he received a medal for valour for a certain combat feat in Ukraine. Several media outlets doubted that Peskov's son went to war due to the fact that fines continue to be issued on his Tesla in Moscow. According to the anonymous telegram channel Vichyk Ogbu, the Tesla Model X owned by Nikolai Kolz until the end of March 2023, and violated traffic laws on 24 July and 6 November 2022, at the same time he was supposedly in Ukraine. The telegram channel posted screenshots from surveillance cameras that recorded the Tesla exceeding the speed limit.
