The top Kremlin spokesman said Monday that Russia’s invasion of Ukraine is still going according to plan and “within the timeframe” that was “approved in advance.”
“The Russian Armed Forces are using modern high-precision weapons, hitting only military information infrastructure facilities. All plans of the Russian leadership will be implemented in full within the timeframe approved in advance,” asserted Dmitry Peskov, a spokesman for Russian President Vladimir Putin, to state-run media.
Peskov declined to comment on how long the war, described by Russia’s government as a “special military operation,” will last. Peskov also appeared to dispute a significant number of reports and claims from Ukrainian officials who said Russia was targeting civilian infrastructure, including hospitals.
U.S. military officials have repeatedly said that Russia’s invasion appears to have been slowed or even thwarted in some places by Ukraine’s military. Satellite images that purported to show a 40-mile-long column of Russian armored vehicles remained stationed outside of Kyiv for more than a week, although recent satellite photos suggested that the column has dispersed.
But Peskov said that Putin “did indeed instruct the Ministry of Defense to refrain from an immediate assault on large settlements, including Kyiv” and said Ukraine’s military and nationalist fighters placed military equipment in residential and densely populated areas.
His remarks came after Russian National Guard chief Viktor Zolotov noted that the operation was slower than they had hoped.
“Not everything is going as fast as we would like,” Zolotov said in comments posted on the Russian National Guard’s website, adding, “But we are going towards our goal step by step and victory will be for us.”
Meanwhile, Ukrainian government negotiator Mykhailo Podolyak, who on Sunday said Russia was beginning to talk “constructively,” wrote ahead of the talks, “Negotiations. 4th round. On peace, ceasefire, immediate withdrawal of troops & security guarantees.”

RE: Peppermint Patty
Oh, I see... every government has one. :)
Zelenskyy is negotiating NATO membership away. If the West doesn’t blow the entire region up before Putin and Zelenskyy negotiate a settlement, Putin’s plan will have worked.
Baghdad Boris?
Jenski Pasakovich?
I thought it meant jesse smollet
he Russian Armed Forces are using modern high-precision weapons, hitting only military information infrastructure facilities......
Do even the pootie boot lickers believe this crap?
Talk about the Uke disinfo...
Like the cat launching face-first into the glass patio door, Putin’s legacy defining faceplant leaves him muttering, “I mean’t that!”...
Beat me to it!!!
They very well could be biding their time...committing “atrocities” while slowly advancing...until we get drawn into it. Maybe they are “trusting the plan”, and their plan is actually real.
Peppermint Red Patty has a new job?
LOL...
If only there was a real SNL comedy show to do this...
Second city...Monty Python...
She must be on the red phone with Jen Psaki.
Jenski Pasakovich?
Grammatically, Russians make women’s last names feminine, like Pasakova.
I believe he said it
But the truth on this is hard to be firm on
You can only go by what you can find that seem to hold after scrutiny
And that Zelensky is asking for talks
His minister met Putins in turkey
The Israeli is going between
I expect Russia has a firm upper hand and desires not to go Grozny yet
But that’s just a semi informed view admittedly
More lies have been told over his than anything since 1945
