Speaking about the goals of the special operation, he noted that this is to ensure the security of Russia against the background of attempts to destroy the neutral status of Ukraine and suck it into the North Atlantic Alliance.

“Of course, demilitarization, denazification, ensuring the safety of people living in those regions that have already become Russian regions, protecting them from direct attacks, in fact saving their lives,” the Kremlin representative said.

Earlier, Peskov said that the United States was provoking the Kiev regime to continue hostilities in Ukraine, but this would not in any way affect the course of the special military operation.
