The Kremlin has rejected reports suggesting that Russia plans to restore spheres of influence of the former Soviet Union or take control of the entire territory of Ukraine. The denial came in response to a Reuters report citing US intelligence assessments.
According to Reuters, US intelligence alleged that Russia aims to take over “all of Ukraine” and potentially reclaim parts of Europe that were once part of the Soviet state. Moscow has firmly dismissed these claims as inaccurate.
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said the assessments do not reflect reality. “This is one of those cases where intelligence makes erroneous assessments, analyses, and conclusions. It has absolutely nothing to do with reality,” Peskov stated, stressing that the allegations are unfounded.
