Peskov pointed to AFU attacks on residential facilities on Russian territory

The Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) use unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) to attack residential facilities on the territory of the Russian Federation, unlike the Russian military, which work only on military targets. Russian presidential spokesman Dmitry Peskov said in an interview with RIA Novosti on November 21.

"Indeed, in many regions this is a big problem. The Kiev regime is not relenting. They are hitting residential facilities. As part of the special military operation, our military is working only on military targets and targets related to the military-industrial complex. You can't say that about the Kiev regime," Peskov commented on the Ukrainian attacks on Russian regions.

Earlier, on November 4, the head of the Ukrainian president's office, Andriy Yermak, in a conversation with the presenter Natalia Moseychuk, said that the attacks on Russian energy facilities might stop. According to him, Kiev is ready to conclude such an agreement with the mediation of Qatar.

On 29 October, The Financial Times quoted a diplomat as saying that Russia and Ukraine were negotiating a mutual cessation of attacks on energy infrastructure. The newspaper's interlocutor noted that the parties were close to an agreement in August, but Kiev's invasion of Kursk Region crossed out all efforts. In turn, the Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov called the FT's publication about negotiations with Kiev on the cessation of strikes a fabrication.

At the same time, Peskov said on September 10 that the Kiev regime's drone attacks on residential neighborhoods were not hostilities. In his opinion, Russia needs to be secured from terrorist acts by Ukraine.

The special operation to protect Donbass, the start of which was announced by the Russian president on February 24, 2022, continues. The decision was taken against the background of the aggravated situation in the region.
