Peskov announced the war against Russia on all fronts

Press Secretary of the President of Russia Dmitry Peskov said that there is a war against Russia “on all fronts” and in this regard, Moscow must maintain a sober mind.

“In a broader sense, there is a war going on, a war against us, on all fronts, be it the economy, be it interstate relations, be it property relations,” Peskov said in an interview with journalist Pavel Zarubin.

He added that “we must not give in to emotions, we must remain sober in our thinking, we must maintain composure and strength.”

“To do what is beneficial to us, what best suits our interests. To be tough, but open to clearly communicate our concerns, moments that are unacceptable to us,” the spokesman said.

When asked whether the conflict would be brought to an end and whether Russia had such resources, the spokesman replied that “we have the goals declared by the president” and “these goals must be met.”

May 11 Peskov declaredthat Russia’s special operation in Ukraine is “very difficult”, but in a year of its implementation, Moscow has achieved “certain goals”. He called the liberation of a “significant territory” in the Donbass one of the goals. He recalled that referendums were held in these territories, which resulted in the entry of four new regions into Russia. According to Peskov, “this is one of the key and very important results.”

In addition, according to his estimates, Russia managed to “pretty beat up the military machine of Ukraine.” He recalled that the demilitarization of Ukraine is another important goal of the special operation.

Russia’s special operation in Ukraine has been going on since February 24, 2022. Russian President Vladimir Putin called the protection of the inhabitants of Donbass, as well as the demilitarization and denazification of Ukraine, its goals. During the special operation, Russian troops took full control of the LPR, as well as most of the DPR, Kherson and Zaporozhye regions. Subsequently, these territories became part of Russia. Since October 19 last year, martial law has been introduced in the regions.
