Kremlin Says West ‘Obsessed’ with Fighting Russia Until Ukraine Runs Out of Men
The West is "obsessed" with the idea of waging war against Russia until Ukraine runs out of men, Kremlin Spokesman Dmitry Peskov said.
He was commenting on NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg's recent statement that there is no need to be afraid of using Western weapons for strikes deep inside Russia, TASS reported."They are obsessed with the idea of fighting us to the last Ukrainian. This obsession manifests itself differently, depending on the person. With Stoltenberg, it is happening like this," Peskov said.Peskov said there are "sober-minded" people in the West that analyze and understand Russian President Vladimir Putin's warnings about responding to long-range strikes."There are still sober-minded people that analyze these words of our president with due attention and understand what they really mean," Peskov said.He also expressed regret that many people in Europe share Stoltenberg's opinion that there is no need to be afraid of using Western weapons for strikes deep inside Russia."Unfortunately, I think his attitude is shared by very many people in Europe. We have heard a lot of rabid narratives from Europe to the effect that there is no need to be afraid of Russia or Putin, and no need to take them seriously," Peskov said.Peskov said Russia sees no alternative to its victory in the special military operation."Historically, there never were any other alternatives for Russia. There is no alternative to our victory now, either," he said.
"A war is going on. They are at war with us. They are at war with us collectively. We have a collective enemy in front of us. They openly say that their goal is to strategically and tactically defeat Russia," Peskov said. "This obliges us to treat this position of theirs very seriously, to align our actions with this danger and to continue the special military operation in order to achieve all our goals, to fulfill all our tasks and to achieve victory ourselves," he added.
