[HIGHLIGHTS] Peskov called on the media not to take his words about the duration of the SVO out of context

Dmitry Peskov asked not to take his words regarding the duration of the special military operation out of context. He said the Northern Military District “began as an operation against Ukraine with specific goals, but it continues in fact as a war with the collective West and the North Atlantic Alliance.

That’s what was said,” Peskov explained. Earlier, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said that Russia is ready to move to a political and diplomatic settlement of the conflict in Ukraine.
