Quote: "The special military operations [Russia’s euphemism for the war against Ukraine - ed.] will continue until Kyiv’s Nazi regime is annihilated and historically Russian territories are liberated from the enemy. The victory will be ours.

More new territories will become part of Russia."

[Russian officials often refer to the lawfully elected Ukrainian government as the "Nazi regime" and claim that internationally recognised Ukrainian territories are "historically Russian" and thus in need of being "liberated" in an effort to justify Russia’s war against Ukraine - ed.]

Previously: On 6 August, Russian Presidential Spokesman Dmitry Peskov said that Russia does not want more Ukrainian territory; the four oblasts and Crimea that were illegally included in the Russian Constitution are enough.
