Since the beginning of the Russian special military operation in Ukraine to defend Donbass from Kiev's aggression, the West has been increasing the pressure on Moscow in terms of sanctions. Major international companies have followed suit, halting their businesses in Russia.
"It is clear that we will face difficulties. It is also clear that we are ready to withstand. On the one hand, there is no panic, on the other hand, we have no facile optimism or ostentatious indifference and complacency", Deputy Foreign Minister Alexander Pankin said Thursday.
Moscow announced the operation after the Donbass republics appealed for help in defending themselves against Ukrainian forces. The Russian Defence Ministry said the special operation is only targeting Ukrainian military infrastructure with no plans to occupy the country.
The White House said on Thursday that Washington has no intention of sending troops to Ukraine even if non-conventional weapons are used there.

Moscow to Investigate If Meta Allows Hate Speech Against Russians
Russia will investigate if Facebook and Instagram allowed publications of calls for violence against Russians, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said on Friday, adding that it will be necessary to ban these applications if they allow hate speech.

"This is information that really requires very, very careful confirmation and study. I don’t want to take Reuter’s word for it, because it’s very difficult to imagine. Our relevant departments will find out if this is really the case. And let's hope it's not. Because if so, the most decisive measures will follow to suppress the activities of this company," Peskov told reporters.
