Deescalation Around Ukraine Essential: Russia

Moscow, Feb 8: Amid escalations in tensions, Russia states that deescalation is now very necessary, Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov said on Tuesday. “As for deescalation, it is very necessary, because tensions are growing day by day. We see how Western countries send troops to Ukraine, send planes loaded with weapons, send military equipment.

Ukraine is conducting maneuvers, testing new models of equipment that it receives these days. All this, of course, provokes new and new turns of tension. Therefore, deescalation is now very, very much in demand,” Peskov added.
