Russia must protect its new regions from danger — Kremlin spokesman

The reconstruction of the DPR, the LPR, and the Zaporozhye and Kherson regions is already underway, but this is the least that Russia can do for them; the most important thing is to shield these territories from danger, Presidential Spokesman Dmitry Peskov said on Thursday at a meeting with New Media Workshop trainees.

"The reconstruction process is underway, but this is the tiniest fraction of what the country can do for its new regions. The maximum that the country is obliged to do is to shield the new regions from danger," the New Media Workshop's Telegram channel quotes Peskov as saying.

He stressed that the special military operation "will continue until the victorious end."

About what was being done in terms of reconstruction in the new regions, Peskov said: "Tens of thousands of people are working there. Tremendous efforts are being exerted." The residents of Lugansk, he said, "can see for themselves every day new roads repaired and built, and infrastructure created."
