Commenting on the strike on Wednesday, Peskov said the type of missiles couldn’t have been launched without British specialists. We understand that perfectly well. We are fully aware, and of course we take it into account.

‘One of the goals is to demilitarize Kiev. Another goal is to strip it of the ability to carry out attacks like this,’ Peskov stressed.
