Kiev has long been attempting to shift combat operations onto Russian territory, which is why Russian forces have created buffer zones along the border, Kremlin Spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters.
"This is nothing new from Kiev. They’ve been pursuing this for quite some time," the Kremlin spokesman said, commenting on a statement by Ukrainian Commander-in-Chief Alexander Syrsky calling for military operations to be moved into Russia.
"That’s exactly why our armed forces are taking all necessary measures to establish buffer zones and, more importantly, to eliminate the military and paramilitary infrastructure of the Ukrainian regime," Peskov added.
