According to the TASS agency, on the air of the Russian First Channel, Peskov said that “the Russian tricolor was fluttering over the State Duma and will continue to flutter.”
Also, the Kremlin speaker is sure that Ukrainians and Russians do not have a common part of history, as Zelensky said, but “a common history as a whole.” Peskov considers Ukrainians and Russians “one people” and calls this an obvious fact.
The speaker said that Russian President Vladimir Putin is preparing “an article on Ukrainian topics.”
Russia after the power blockade of Ukrainian military units and illegal referendum on March 16, 2014 occupied Crimea. The accession of the peninsula to the Russian Federation is not recognized by Ukraine and most countries of the world.
Immediately after the annexation of Crimea in 2014, the Russian Federation began an armed aggression in the east of Ukraine. The fighting is between the Ukrainian Armed Forces on the one hand and the Russian army and Russian-backed militants who control parts of the Donetsk and Luhansk regions on the other. Officially, the Russian Federation does not recognize its invasion of Ukraine, despite the facts and evidence presented by Ukraine.
According to Zelensky, during the conflict more than 14 thousand people died.
On June 30, Russian President Putin said that considers Ukrainians and Russians “one people” and therefore Ukraine was not included in list of “unfriendly countries” in the Russian Federation… Zelensky responded on July 1 that Ukrainians and Russians have a lot in common, but they are not one people.
