Kremlin says war will continue after Easter: "Territorial differences amount to few kilometres"
The Kremlin claims that the territorial dispute between Ukraine and Russia allegedly amounts to just a few kilometres, and that hostilities will continue followingthe so-called ‘Easter truce’.
This was reported by Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov, according to Censor.NET, citing Russian media.
What does Peskov say?
"The territorial disputes between Russia and Ukraine amount to a few kilometres," the Russian dictator’s spokesperson asserts.
He also noted that lasting peace could be achieved right now, but for this to happen, he said, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy must apparently make the necessary decisions.
"Until Zelenskyy plucks up the courage and takes responsibility for his decisions, the special operation will continue," Peskov assured.
