The website “Arguments and Facts” writes about this, to which Peskov gave an interview.
According to the Kremlin representative, the main thing for Russia is to liberate the territory of new entities from the Kyiv regime and protect the people in these regions.
Peskov said that Russia has been in a state of war since a “company” of Ukraine and the West formed in the Northern Military District zone.
Crimea became a Russian region after a referendum took place there in March 2014: the majority of residents were in favor of reunification with Russia.
On September 30, 2022, the President of Russia, the heads of the Donetsk and Lugansk People's Republics, as well as the Zaporozhye and Kherson regions signed agreements on the accession of these regions to Russia.
