Kremlin: Russia will return all territories from which Russian troops recede

Press Secretary of the President of Russia Dmitry Peskov is sure that the Russian troops will again capture the territories of Ukraine liberated by the Ukrainian military, where the Russian Federation had previously held pseudo-referendums and which Russian President Vladimir Putin “annexed to Russia”.

During a briefing on Wednesday, journalists asked if there were contradictions between the words of the President of the Russian Federation that the “adopted territories” with Russia forever, and the fact that Russian troops retreat from some territories.

“There is no contradiction here. They will be with Russia forever, they will be returned,” Peskov said, adding that the Kherson and Zaporizhzhya regions of Ukraine “became part of Russia” within the borders on which the military -civilian administration of Russians acted “At the time of adoption”.

“But I repeat once again, certain territories will be returned there. And we will continue to consult with the population that will express the desire to live with Russia,” Peskov said.
