The Kremlin has declared Ukraine part of the territory covered by the so-called “Russian world.”
In response to a request by an UNIAN correspondent in Russia to elaborate about the topics that were discussed at the meeting of the Security Council chaired by President Vladimir Putin February 5, the Russian leader’s Press Secretary Dmitry Peskov said the issue of supporting Russian compatriots was on the agenda.
“Here Putin spoke about the profile issue that was on the agenda – issues of the ‘Russian world.’ Indeed, the ‘Russian world’ was, remains and will be a priority topic for the Russian government. Protection of this world, development of relations with this world, and various mechanisms to support this world,” Peskov said.
When asked by UNIAN whether Ukraine is part of the “Russian world” for the Kremlin, he said: “Of course, there are a lot of Russians and Russian speakers in Ukraine – they all belong to the ‘Russian world,’ and it would be really stupid to deny cultural, historical ties, and common roots. We know that such a line – to deny these common things – is being pursued by Ukraine, but we don’t like this.”
Answering another question on what tools will be applied to promote the “Russian world” in Ukraine, Peskov said it would be “soft power.”
He went on to claim Russia “never employs tools that would be in breach of international law.”

Imperialist crap from the most evil nazi regime since the last evil nazi regime.
Goering would be very proud!
So I guess this means they are admitting their brute force and intimidation tactics have failed spactularly.
No doubt they consider that “soft power” too. Anything short of a nuke is soft power to the little yellow hazmat imp.

Except for minor things like blowing civilian planes out of the sky. Invading anther country and annexing part of it. Murdering 14000 Ukrainians in Donbas. Gassing Syrians to protect another evil dictator. Last but not least, unleashing chemical weapons on enemies of the tiny dictator.
C’mon Focusser, where’s the proof?
;))
The Ruskies are not known to be good at navigation or math or geography or economics and history is no exception. They simply cannot fathom the truth that THEY are a part of the UKRAINIAN world. As sad as it is…
The genuine ruSSians live in Ukraine, and Putin is destroying them, since their chance to survive in comparison to the RuSSian Federation would be 99% without Putin’s invasions and annexations. Instead muslim-infested RuSSia is bringing downe Ukraine. Mafia, bah!
