He said this in an interview with RIA Novosti. 

“Like the residents of Donbass, we are interested in the liberation of the region as soon as possible,” he explained.

The representative of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs also noted that the goals pursued by Russia in the special operation are being successfully fulfilled today and will certainly be achieved.

Earlier, Dmitry Polyansky, First Deputy Permanent Representative of Russia to the UN, during a report at a meeting of the organization's Security Council, said that the special operation in Ukraine would continue as long as the shelling of peaceful cities of the LPR and DPR continued, and the country was threatened by Kyiv.
