This is now a war, not a special military operation, Putin's spokesman announced

Russian President Vladimir Putin's spokesperson, Dmitry Peskov, stated that Russia's 'special military operation' in Ukraine has evolved into an actual war. This declaration was made during an interview with propagandist Pavel Zarubin, according to the Ukrainian news agency Unian. Peskov claimed that Western countries such as Berlin, Paris, The Hague, Oslo, and Washington are supporting Ukraine by using their satellites to identify and direct foreign weapons against Russian targets. He suggested this support is a major reason why Russia has not yet won the war. Additionally, Peskov noted that while Ukraine is capable of doing anything, he believes it is unable to exert pressure on Russia.
