Russia (bbabo.net) - Russia has never attacked anyone first, but no one has succeeded in making it a victim. This was stated by the press secretary of the President of the Russian Federation Dmitry Peskov in the program "Moscow. Kremlin. Putin" on the TV channel "Russia-1".

"Russia was never the first to attack anyone. Remember history, they wanted to make us a victim, but, thank God, no one succeeded," Peskov said, commenting on the situation around Ukraine. He agreed that the main thing is "not to solve the civil conflict in Donbass by military means." “This is what President Vladimir Putin has repeatedly said, and this is what they know very well in Kiev, this is what they know very well in Washington.

"Vladimir Zelensky wants to discuss with Putin as a party to the conflict. The issue of settlement is not a question for Putin," Peskov explained. The Russian President is ready to speak with him on bilateral relations. When asked if the head of Ukraine could attend an informal CIS summit in St. Petersburg, the spokesman for the Russian leader laughed: "Zelensky can come, of course, but I don't think he will."
