In a telephone call with reporters, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said Putin paid his respects Thursday morning by visiting and laying a wreath at Moscow’s Central Clinical Hospital, where Gorbachev died on Tuesday. “Unfortunately, the president’s work schedule will not allow him to do this on September 3, so he decided to do it today,” Peskov said. He added that Gorbachev’s funeral would have “elements” of a state funeral, including an honor guard, and that the state was helping with the arrangements.
