The poll stood at 40.1% in favor with nearly 2.5 million votes, as of 10:15 GMT.
"We, of course, noticed that this Musk initiative kept many people in Europe, many people in Ukraine, Poland, and so on, awake, in the Baltic republics. First of all,� it did not let the bots that actively participated in the voting sleep," Peskov told reporters.
It is "very positive" that a man like Musk is looking for a peaceful way out of the situation in Ukraine, unlike professional diplomats, the official said.
"As for holding referenda, residents have already expressed their opinion. And there can be nothing else here ... But, I repeat once again, the fact itself is very positive," he added.
