More quotes by Dmitry Peskov

Russian forces do not fire on civilian targets.

A real Russian is never ashamed to be Russian.

The Russian troops don’t conduct any strikes against civilian infrastructure and residential areas.

We remind you that Russia has never attacked anyone throughout its history. And Russia, which has survived so many wars, is the last country in Europe that even wants to utter the word ‘war.’

The operation is being conducted as planned, its goals will be achieved.
