The Kremlin Fabricates New Reasons for War in Ukraine

Kremlin representatives, including Deputy Chairman of the State Duma Pyotr Tolstoy and spokesman for the president Dmitry Peskov, have issued new cynical justifications for the continuation of aggression against Ukraine. They claim that the war is allegedly necessary for Russia's survival and to prevent NATO forces from being stationed in Ukraine. These statements reflect Moscow's intention to avoid negotiations and shift responsibility for the conflict onto Ukraine.
