Kremlin: Russia's 'Main Goal' in Ukraine After Four Years of War

The Kremlin stated that Russia has not yet achieved all its military objectives in Ukraine, commenting on the fourth anniversary of Moscow's invasion.

As the fourth anniversary of Russia's invasion of Ukraine approaches, the Kremlin announced that it continues its military operations as its objectives remain unmet. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov emphasized that the ongoing military campaign would persist until the goals are realized. He was responding to inquiries from the French Press Agency regarding the status of Russia's military ambitions in the region.

In contrast, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has criticized Russia's efforts, asserting that President Vladimir Putin has failed to achieve his war aims and has not broken the morale of the Ukrainian people. The remarks highlight the stark differences in perspectives from both sides regarding the conflict's progress and objectives.

Peskov articulated that the 'main goal' of Russia in the conflict is to ensure the 'security' of people in the Donbas region, which comprises the Donetsk and Luhansk areas. This statement underscores the importance of the territorial dispute over the Donbas, a focal point of contention in the ongoing military struggle in Eastern Ukraine.
