This is reported by RIA Novosti with reference to Peskov's interview with MSNBC.

“Yes, it will be a protracted crisis, but we (Russia. - RT ) will never trust the West again,” the spokesman commented on the duration of the special operation in Ukraine.

Earlier, British Prime Minister Boris Johnson said that Western countries need to prepare for the protracted nature of the conflict in Ukraine.

In his opinion, it can stretch for years.
