- Peskov announced the transformation of his military into a confrontation with the West
The special military operation of the Russian Federation in Ukraine, which began four years ago, has now turned into a large-scale confrontation between Russia and Western countries. This was announced on February 24 by Dmitry Peskov, the press secretary of the President of Russia.
"Subsequently, after the direct intervention of European countries and the United States in this conflict, its de facto turned into a larger-scale confrontation between Russia and Western countries, which have been hatching and are hatching the goal of crushing our country," the Russian president's press secretary said at a briefing.
Peskov added that he was unlikely to be able to answer the question of whether it was planned that the military operation would last four years when the decision was made to start military operations. However, it is absolutely clear that the special military operation against the Kiev regime began in 2022 in order to protect people living in eastern Ukraine.
In addition, there has been a phenomenal consolidation of society in Russia during the time of its leadership, the Kremlin representative stated.
The official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry, Maria Zakharova, recalled on the fourth anniversary of the beginning of the conflict that in order for a long-term and just peace to be established, the root causes of the conflict should be dealt with. Russia is actively working through diplomatic channels to achieve this. According to her, after the events of 2014, national radical tendencies intensified in Ukraine, and residents of Donbass were subjected to repression.
