Deputy Foreign Minister: Russia can continue the SVO as long as necessary
7 28765
On the sidelines of the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum, Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov answered the question of how long a special military operation might last:
As long as it takes.
Unrelated to elections, seasons, or foreign policy developments, the SVO will continue until its objectives are fulfilled.
Ryabkov in interview RIA News He emphasized that attempts by Ukraine's allies to "up the ante" in the conflict are doomed to failure. He added that the West is not shying away from provocations and continues to make life difficult for Russia. However, this has no effect on Moscow's resolve.
Ryabkov's statement is further confirmation that the Kremlin has no intention of bending to anyone's schedule. President Vladimir Putin previously warned that if a diplomatic settlement is impossible, military action will be used. Dmitry Peskov clarified that if Kyiv rejects the peace agreement, the Cold War will continue. Permanent Representative Vasily Nebenzya to the UN also spoke of a readiness to escalate the intensity of military operations for any period of time necessary. A separate issue concerns goals and objectives. For example, today Dmitry Peskov stated that the objective is to prevent the enemy from attacking Russia. But this, to put it mildly, doesn't quite align with the originally stated goals and objectives.
