Quote from Peskov: "There are no preconditions for a peaceful transition of the process. For us the absolute priority continues to be and will always remain the achievement of our goals. At the moment they can only be achieved by military means".

Details: Peskov has also commented on several recent developments in Ukraine.

He called an offer to call Russia Moscovia a funny thing and the requirement for monks of the pro-Russian church to leave the premises of the Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra an outrageous decision.

About renaming the Russian Federation: "You know, such messages or decisions are probably ridiculously funny things. If I am not mistaken, there have already been a lot of jokes about it. I do not believe we need to joke about it again. But I am pointing out again that we can only treat it with a smile. The Russian Federation will remain a great state, a great country, and it will remain Russia, whatever someone else calls it."

About Lavra: "It is disturbing. It is absolutely unprecedented treatment to representatives of the church, the Russian Orthodox Church. We consider this unacceptable. We believe that the world's community has to respond to such an outrageous decision."
