War is being waged; this is a real war. Russia's special military operation in Ukraine has turned into a genuine war because Western countries stand behind Kyiv.
Consensus
- Dmitry Peskov stated that Russia's special military operation in Ukraine has become a full-scale war.
- Peskov attributed the transformation to Western countries supporting Ukraine, including supplying weapons and using their infrastructure for targeting Russian objectives.
- Peskov claimed that Western nations such as Germany (Berlin), France (Paris), the Netherlands (The Hague), Norway (Oslo), and the United States (Washington) are behind Kyiv.
- Peskov described Ukrainian drone attacks on energy and civilian infrastructure as terrorist acts.
- Peskov asserted that Russian forces are advancing steadily on the battlefield, citing Konstantinovka as a significant strategic achievement.
Points of divergence
- Dmitry Medvedev claimed Western support for Kyiv has led to Ukraine's de facto collapse and the destruction of an entire nation, accusing the West of masking fundamental human values under pretenses of humanitarianism and tolerance. — vesti

- German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius stated Germany would contribute the largest share to a new NATO aid package for Ukraine, estimated at 70 billion euros. Germany also announced $400 million in assistance to Ukraine for air defense and Patriot missiles in June.

- Sergey Lavrov warned that European proposals for 'stabilization forces' on Ukrainian territory could lead to a new Berlin Wall, which Moscow finds unacceptable.
