Peskov claims that Russia's special military operation in Ukraine is proceeding according to pre-determined goals and plans.Dmitry Peskov gave an interview to CNN's Christian Amanpore on the 26th day of the ongoing Russian invasion of Ukraine. At one point in the interview, Amanpore asked if Peskov was sure that Russian President Putin would not use nuclear weapons in Ukraine. In response, Putin's spokesman said, "We have a policy on the security of the country, and it is clear. You can read about the reasons for the use of nuclear weapons. So, if it poses a threat to our country, it could be used (nuclear weapons) in line with our policy. " U.S. intelligence officials say Russian President Vladimir Putin planned to seize the Ukrainian capital, Kiev, within two days. According to them, the Ukrainian forces have been able to slow down the advance of the Russian army through various tactics, including resistance. It is alleged that the ambassador provided the information to Hussein.
However, in an interview with CNN, Peskov said, "This (special operation) is going according to a pre-determined plan and goal."
Peskov said Russia's operation in Ukraine was "a serious operation aimed at achieving serious goals." Several countries, including the United States, the European Union, and the United Kingdom, have imposed a series of sanctions against Moscow in response to the Russian offensive in Ukraine on February 24. Peskov lamented that Western countries have been avoiding the issue of Russia's security concerns for decades. "President Putin wants the world to hear and understand our concerns," he told CNN. We have been trying for decades to convey our concerns to the world, to Europe, to the United States. But no one listened to us. And so, before it was too late, it was decided to launch a military operation to keep our borders free of anti-Russian elements. "

Russia launched a military operation on February 24 as a threat to its security as a member of the NATO alliance. Initially, Kiev was adamant about becoming a member of the NATO alliance. However, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky softened the tone after the attack. NATO and European Union countries have been providing arms and money to Ukraine.
