Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov stated on Monday that Russia must ensure its security and is working to make sure that no party dares to attempt to strike against it.

This came in the context of his comments on President Vladimir Putin's statements, in which he confirmed that Moscow will act based on its national interests regarding the settlement issues related to Ukraine.

Peskov explained: "Russia's national interests are known to everyone. We must ensure our security. We must work so that no party has the audacity to announce plans to deliver a decisive blow to Russia within forty days, as Kyiv has stated, for example."

The Kremlin spokesman confirmed: "This is precisely Russia's national interest."

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky agreed three months ago to launch a 40-day campaign to "pressure" Russia to end the war against Kyiv, after consulting with the head of the Ukrainian Security Service regarding strikes against Russian targets.

Ukraine has been carrying out waves of medium and long-range strikes against targets in Russia or in areas controlled by Russia for months, primarily focusing on the oil sector.
