The Kremlin's spokesman Dmitry Peskov outlined the situation in Ukraine and Russia's relations with the West, stating that:

▪ about 75 percent of Russia's citizens support the special operation in Ukraine and the actions of the President;

▪ international law practically doesn't work, Russian-speaking people abroad have a hard time because of Russophobia;

▪ because Ukraine is a sovereign state, there may be internal considerations concerning the referendum there but negotiations are also needed;

▪ negotiations are much slower and achieve less than we would like;

▪ the US need not worry about cyber sanctions as Russia does not engage in state banditry, unlike many other countries, including the United States;

▪ Russia has no intention to create any special structures in the territories of Ukraine liberated from nationalists.
