“We are at war. Yes, it started out as a special military operation, but as soon as this group was formed there, when the collective West became a participant in this on the side of Ukraine, for us it already became a war. I am convinced of this,” stated Vladimir Putin’s press secretary Dmitry Peskov.
According to him, Russia “cannot allow the existence” near its borders of a state that promises to return Crimea, as well as the DPR, LPR, Kherson and Zaporozhye regions, under its control.
The Kremlin representative made this statement after two years of attempts to “reach Kyiv in three days” and a series of attacks on the Belgorod and Kursk regions, as well as oil and gas infrastructure facilities in other regions of Russia.
Previously Peskov said, that the war could not be called a war even after the announcement of mobilization, and the authorities severely punished violators of this prohibition. So 60-year-old wise guy from Moscow Alexey Gorinov received seven years in prison literally for the word “war” uttered at a meeting of the council of deputies.
