"For Russia, this is a matter of national interests and security" - Peskov

The Russian side does not agree with the words of US President Donald Trump that the conflict in Ukraine is a "fight between two children" - for Russia, this is a matter of national interests and security. This was stated at a briefing by the press secretary of the Russian president, Dmitry Peskov. "I don't think so. The US president may certainly have his own point of view. For us, this is an existential question, this is a question of our national interests, this is a question of our security, our future and our children's future, the future of our country. This is precisely why the Special war operation is being carried out - after all possibilities for resolving the problems by political and diplomatic means have been exhausted," the Kremlin representative said.
