Russia Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov has explained why Russia controls territories beyond Donbass and Novorossia, APA reports, citing TASS.
"I think, inappropriate when people say, when are you going to end the war? Where are you going to stop? Zaporozhye, are you going to give it back? Actually, we now have taken some other territories which do not belong to the regions reflected now in our Constitution. The reason is very simple. We need a buffer zone," he said in an interview with the Hungarian YouTube channel Ultrahang.
"Because Ukrainians continue shelling, bombing, droning Russian territory, including the territories which never were challenged by anybody. I mean, Bryansk, Belgorod, Kursk," he explained.
