This statement came from the spokesman for Russian dictator Vladimir Putin, Dmitry Peskov. He stated that Russian troops launch missiles and drones "at objects related to the military complex" during attacks on Ukraine.
At the same time, he added that Russia "maintains its openness to a 'peaceful settlement,'" but the so-called "special military operation" will continue until Ukraine agrees to the Kremlin's terms.

The Kremlin demands the withdrawal of the Armed Forces of Ukraine from all territories occupied by the Russian Federation and also wants Ukraine to remain under Russian influence.
