Kremlin Spokesman Dmitriy Peskov made striking statements on the Russian state channel Rossiya 1.

"PUTIN HAD CLEARLY STATED THAT THERE WOULD BE A RESPONSE"

Evaluating Ukraine's recent increase in drone attacks against Russia, Peskov stated, "Russian President Vladimir Putin had clearly said that there would be a response if our country was disturbed by drones."

"THEY WANT TO CLEARLY TURN A BLIND EYE"

Peskov pointed out that civilian structures in regions like Belgorod and Kursk were targeted by Ukraine, saying, "Unfortunately, Europeans and Americans want to clearly turn a blind eye to the drones trying to attack us."

"A HIGHLY DANGEROUS DECISION"

Responding to German Chancellor Friedrich Merz's statement regarding the lifting of range restrictions on weapons supplied to Ukraine, Peskov said, "If this is true, if this is really true, then this is a highly dangerous decision."

"CLEARLY INCOMPATIBLE WITH THE PEACE PROCESS"

Peskov indicated that this step could lead to additional conflicts, stating, "All of this is clearly incompatible with peace efforts and the peace process, which has just begun and is still very fragile."

Noting that Merz's statements were denied the next day, Peskov said, "However, he still insists that such a decision exists and that Ukraine is authorized to attack deep into Russia without regard to any distance."
