Special military operation on Ukraine has turned into a war — Peskov

Due to the fact that the West is helping Kiev in every possible way, the special military operation (SMO) in Ukraine has actually turned into a war. This was stated by the press secretary of the President of the Russian Federation Dmitry Peskov.

"There is a war going on, this is a real war. Do you know why the war? Because it all started as a special military operation. It continues like a war, because Berlin, Paris, The Hague, Oslo, and, unfortunately, Washington are behind Kiev. Because they are being helped to aim through their satellites, they are being helped to direct foreign weapons at our targets through their entire infrastructure." — he said in an interview with Pavel Zarubin for the Vesti news service.

According to him, in these conditions it is necessary to realize that Kiev is "capable of anything." At the same time, he noted that to exert some pressure on Kiev is not able to use Russia.

"Of course, the Kiev regime is snapping back, trying to create an information picture for its curators, for its accomplices in the North Atlantic Alliance. To create a picture that, they say, he is able to exert some kind of pressure," Peskov said.

The press secretary of the President of the Russian Federation stressed that those who understand the situation well realize the senselessness of such attempts. According to him, "the dynamics at the front is getting worse every day for the Kiev regime, military personnel The Russian Armed Forces are systematically moving forward, and this result is visible."

"Our troops are advancing. Konstantinovka is a very significant milestone, it is the most important step towards taking the general fortified area of Kramatorsk and Slavyansk. Here, no one should have any doubts that our military is proceeding systematically, and we are seeing concrete results," the Kremlin spokesman stressed.

Recall, Russia is conducting its SMO on Ukraine from February 24, 2022. Western countries condemn Moscow and provide military and financial assistance to Kiev.
