But we must not forget what is the forerunner of this situation,” said Mr. Peskov. Footage of his statements was published in Telegram channel VGTRK correspondent Pavel Zarubin.

We are united by millions of our fellow citizens who have moved to live in Israel and concern for their safety… Russia can and will play a role in the settlement process,” Dmitry Peskov is convinced.
