Peskov noted the desire of Kiev to encroach on the Russian Crimea

So he commented on the words of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky that the return of Crimea should be the main goal and philosophy of Ukraine.

“Of course, such a wording means that the Kiev regime intends to use any, all available possibilities, including force, in order to encroach on the Russian region.

This is how we tend to perceive it, "RIA Novosti Peskov quotes.

The Kremlin spokesman stressed that Moscow regards Zelensky's words about the "return of Crimea" as a direct threat to Russia.

Crimea became a Russian region after a referendum held there in March 2014, in which the majority of the peninsula's residents voted in favor of reunification with Russia.
