Russia remains focused on liberating new: Kremlin

The Kremlin says its forces are still set on seizing parts of eastern and southern Ukraine that Moscow has “annexed”after referendums.

Asked about the goals of Russia’s military campaign in Ukraine, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said Russia still has to “liberate” parts of the Donetsk, Luhansk, Kherson and Zaporizhia regions.

Moscow proclaimed that those four regions of Ukraine were now part of Russia after holding referendums in September, which Kyiv and America referred to as a “sham”.
