Dmitry Peskov, reacting to the statements of UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres about the need to maintain territorial integrity, said that geopolitical realities have changed in the Ukraine conflict and Russia now has new territories.

The spokesman of the Russian presidency emphasized: You know that it is different in Russia. Russia has become bigger, it has four new regions, and this should be taken into account.
