MOSCOW (Sputnik) - The Russian military is doing everything possible to create buffer zones on the border with Ukraine, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said on Thursday.
"The fact that they [Ukraine] are trying to transfer various elements of war to our territory is nothing new. That is why our military is doing everything possible to create certain buffer zones and so on, and most importantly — to destroy military and near-military infrastructure," Peskov told reporters.
At the same time, Kiev continues to strike civilian infrastructure, the spokesman also said, adding that the Russian armed forces are taking measures to ensure air defense and minimize risks.
