“We have no desire to place the flag in Ukraine.
We respect the sovereignty of Ukraine.
But, of course, we cannot somehow positively react to such words of President Zelensky.
Here I find it difficult to somehow analyze why these words are said.
On the other hand, maybe they are somehow torn out of context.
This I also cannot rule out.
Sounds strange, ”said Peskov.
He also commented on the thesis that Russians and Ukrainians are one people.
“We are one people, but two different states.
This is absolutely true ... Here you can try to rewrite history as much as you like, as some in Ukraine are trying to do, but the people are still united, ”he said.
Previously, Peskov said that the Russian tricolor fluttered and would continue to flutter over the State Duma.
On June 30, Russian leader Vladimir Putin said in a direct line that Ukrainians and Russians are one people.
He expressed the opinion that the Russian people have always tried to divide and split, and the current leadership of Ukraine is clearly unfriendly towards Russia.
