Kremlin reaction, commentary by Dmitry Peskov: Politics: Russia: Lenta.ru

Press Secretary of the President of the Russian Federation Dmitry Peskov indicatedthat Russia will give an “adequate response” to every strike Ukraine Western missiles on its territory.

He recalled the recent warning Vladimir Putinthat allowing the use of long-range missiles is “an irresponsible and tension-escalating step.”

Peskov said that the United States ignored Putin’s warning

Last week, a Kremlin spokesman spoke outthat, by authorizing strikes deep into Russian territory, the United States ignored the warning of the Russian President, resulting in a decisive response from Moscow.

“This is where this situation arose, and such decisive steps and such tough statements from our president were required,” Peskov noted.

He emphasized that during his speech in St. Petersburg a couple of months ago, the Russian leader sent a “clear, unequivocal, reasoned” signal to Western countries. There was hope that they would heed this warning, but a mixture of frenzy and a thirst for domestic political revenge on the part of decision-makers in Washingtonled to Moscow’s warning being ignored, Peskov considered.

Peskov announced a strike exclusively on Ukrainian military industry facilities

In addition, the press secretary emphasizedthat the targets of the massive strike that Russian troops inflicted on Ukraine were exclusively objects related to the country’s military industry. It was also a response to an attack on Russian territory by long-range Western weapons, Peskov added.

November 28 Russian Ministry of Defense reportedthat in the morning a combined attack was carried out on the facilities of the military-industrial complex of Ukraine and the energy infrastructure that ensures their functioning.

This was a response to the blows Armed Forces of Ukraine deep into Russian territory with Western long-range weapons. As a result of the attack, emergency power outages were introduced throughout the republic.
