NATO Specialists Presence in Ukraine Triggered Russia's Military Operation - Kremlin
PETROPAVLOVSK-KAMCHATSKIY, Russia, (Sputnik) - NATO specialists entering Ukraine served as a trigger for Russia's special military operation, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said.
"
NATO specialists infiltrated Ukraine directly, entered its government bodies, and the first [Western] arms deliveries began at that time. All this, of course, posed a threat to the Russian people living there, not to mention the geopolitical aspects of the situation and the geopolitical consequences for Russia's security. All of this together, of course, triggered the decision to launch the special military operation," Peskov said in an interview with Russian journalist Pavel Zarubin out on Sunday.
Volodymyr Zelensky came to power while talking about peace, but continued to violate the Minsk agreements and inched Ukraine closer to war with his actions, Peskov said.
Zelensky won the presidential election in Ukraine on a pledge of peace, but instead violated the Minsk accords and brought the war closer, Peskov added.
"He came in on a pledge of peace. Instead, he continued to violate the Minsk agreements, he continued to play for time. It became obvious that no one was going to [fulfill the Minsk agreements], and instead of peace, he brought the war closer," Peskov told Russian journalist Pavel Zarubin in an interview out on Sunday.
Russia has been more focused on the United States' position on the
settlement process in Ukraine than that of Europe, Dmitry Peskov said.
"The Europeans are playing their game, and it still looks like they want the war to continue. But here we are more focused, of course, on our counterparts from Washington," he said.
Peskov stressed that Washington's position "is very important here."
"We see that it is very, very determined, it is realistic and pragmatic," he added.
