Russia: Peskov, ready to fight for every inch of Donetsk

Russia is ready to fight even for 0.01 of the territory of Donetsk: this was stated by Russian presidential spokesman Dmitry Peskov, as reported by Interfax.

"Even for a hundredth of a percent. It's the Russian Federation. There is nothing to discuss about it," Peskov said.

Russian President Vladimir Putin said Russia prefers to resolve the conflict by peaceful means "but as long as this is impossible, we will fight and fight with determination. And those who believe it is possible to harbor plans to strike a devastating blow against Russia will pay the price, just as Ukraine is now."
