Peskov also continues to deny Russia’s role in the war in Donbas.

In particular, he called Ukraine’s convincing position on attempts to portray Russia a participant in the Donbas conflict “completely untrue.” “It is unacceptable neither for us, nor for other, probably, participants of (Norman)” four “, – Peskov emphasized.
