Kremlin on massive strike against Ukraine: "Russia’s response to terrorist acts of Kyiv regime"
The Kremlin has issued a cynical statement regarding Russia’s overnight massive combined attack on Ukraine using drones and missiles, claiming the strikes were aimed at "military targets" and were carried out in "response" to the SSU’s Operation Pavutyna (Spider's Web).
Censor.NET reports this, citing Russian state media quoting Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov.
"The massive overnight strike on military targets in Ukraine was a response to the terrorist acts of the Kyiv regime," Peskov claimed.
According to him, everything Russian forces are doing "within the framework of the special military operation" is "a response to the actions of the Kyiv regime."
Peskov also said the Kremlin disagrees with Donald Trump’s recent remark comparing the war in Ukraine to a schoolyard fight, insisting that "for Russia, this is a matter of national interest."
"The special military operation in Ukraine began after all political and diplomatic means were exhausted," the Kremlin spokesman added.
