Russia's invasion of Ukraine will end "once its tasks are fulfilled," a senior Russian official has said.
Alexey Polishchuk, from the Russian Foreign Ministry's second CIS department told state news agency Tass the war would end when Moscow achieved the "protection of the peaceful population of Donbas, demilitarization and denazification of Ukraine."
Thousands of Ukrainians have been killed since Russian forces invaded Ukraine in February and millions have been driven from their homes. Russia's army has also faced major losses in the face of Ukrainian resistance while Western countries have imposed wide-ranging sanctions on Russia over the war.
