Kremlin Representative Dmitry Peskov assessed the relationship between Russians and Ukrainians. In an interview with the Belarusian television channel ONT, he noted that despite the current relations between Russia and Ukraine, this does not mean that “we have lost our affinity with the Ukrainian people.”
As a Russian spokesman said, Ukraine has seen an increase in “people deceived by propaganda who are already starting to hate Russia.” However, Russians and Ukrainians are Slavs, Peskov added. According to him, they are “really related.” The European Union will suffer if they do not accept its republic. At the same time, it does not rule out that the Russian Federation may go to war against Ukraine, but it calls it a big mistake for Moscow.
Meanwhile, the President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky said that there is a possibility of total war between Ukraine and Russia. He stressed that “this will be the biggest mistake of the Russian Federation.”
Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov spoke about “echoes of KVN” in response to Zelensky's statement. Maybe in this way he is trying to win the hearts of his constituents. Lavrov noted that if the Ukrainian leader has no other means, then “it's sad.” About the war and the abyss.
