Quote from Peskov: "I think the president [Putin] has set out our position quite exhaustively. That is the first point. Second, as the president also said, Ukraine will certainly have to pay the price for the actions that have taken place in recent months. That is what is happening right now." [N.B. Ukrainska Pravda does not recognise Putin as president – ed.]

Details: Peskov added that Russian forces are "striking those targets that they deem appropriate".
