Venemaa ei välista tõsise ohu korral tuumarelva kasutamist, kinnitas täna intervjuus CNN-ile Kremli pressiesindaja Dmitri Peskov.

Peskov ütles intervjuus CNN-i ajakirjanikule Christiane Amanpourile, et Venemaa peab saavutama erioperatsiooni algul püstitatud eesmärgid, milleks on Ukraina demilitariseerimine, neutraalsus, natsionalistlike pataljonide hävitamine ning Krimmi, Donetski ja Luganski iseseisvuse tunnustamine.

Putin “hasn’t achieved [his goals] yet” in Ukraine, Dmitry Peskov tells me. “It is going on strictly in accordance with the plans,” he insists, which are Ukraine’s demilitarization, neutrality, eliminating “nationalist battalions” & recognition of Crimea, Donetsk & Luhansk. pic.twitter.com/tIdiB7fD86
