“On February 24, millions of us made a choice: not a white flag, but a blue and yellow flag. Not an escape, but a meeting. Meeting the enemy. Resistance and struggle.

Kremlin: Comments from Zelenskiy’s office on ‘inevitable escalation of war inside Russia’ ‘confirm correctness’ of Ukraine invasion
regarding it to journalists declared Press Secretary of the President of the Russian Federation Dmitry Peskov, commenting on the words of Mikhail Podolyak, Advisor to the Office of the President of Ukraine.
January 22, Podolyak in an interview on the channel declaredthat sooner or later the “internal escalation of the war” will reach the largest cities in Russia.
At the same time, he stressed that Ukraine does not strike at Russian territory, and Russia is “more and more immersed in a return war, that is, the war will come completely and totally to the territory of the Russian Federation and will be waged there not so much by means of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, as by internal means of a protest nature. “.
Regardless of Ukraine, an internal escalation of the war in Russia is inevitable, and there will be different strikes once morest different targets. For what, by whom and why is another question. We cannot discuss it now, because we have a lack of public information. Ukraine does not strike at Russia. But, nevertheless, the escalation of the war will be inevitable inside Russia. In particular, such cities will be affected, pampered, lazy cities that thought they were living in a different reality, such as Moscow, St. Petersburg, Yekaterinburg, and so on. But this escalation will be an internal problem for the Russian Federation.
On January 25, the Kremlin representative responded to this said the following: “It is obvious that the Kyiv regime does not shun anything, this once once more confirms the correctness of the chosen path and the correctness of our intentions to protect ourselves from such a danger.”
