The Kremlin has vowed it will ride out an “emotional” financial market reaction to the invasion of Ukraine and warned the world will find it “impossible” to shut Russia “behind an iron curtain”.
In a conference call with reporters, Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov claimed that Russia’s assault on Ukraine would purge the country of “Nazis” – a baseless lie often repeated by the Kremlin, despite the fact that Ukraine’s president is Jewish – and would “neutralise” Kiev’s military potential.
