Moscow, February 9 (Xinhua) – Assassination attempts on various high-ranking Russian officials indicate Ukraine's implementation of a large-scale hybrid war against Russia. This was stated by Russian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Maria Zakharova on a local television program on Sunday.

"Their goal is to be a tool in the hands of those who have declared this hybrid war on our country, which they've coined the term 'inflicting a strategic defeat on Russia.' That's why they're targeting high-ranking officials," noted M. Zakharova. She emphasized that "this isn't just a real attempt, for example, to disrupt negotiations or contacts, or to derail the next round. It's all of this. This is about the implementation of a large-scale goal—to completely destroy life in our country."

A Russian Foreign Ministry spokesperson stated that the terrorist attacks are part of a hybrid war. According to her, where Ukraine realizes it cannot achieve results on the battlefield, it substitutes them with terrorist attacks against civilians and civilian infrastructure. –0–
