Kosovo borders on Russian maps. Although Moscow does not recognize the independence of Europe's newest state, it appears that on maps used by the military it has outlined the borders of Kosovo.
This is stated in the videos posted by the Ministry of Defense from time to time, where the spokesman Igor Konashekov reports on the progress of what Russia calls a "special operation", but which is practically an invasion of Ukraine.
Russian aggression began shortly after Putin and the Russian Duma recognized the independence of the two so-called Donetsk and Luhansk regions. In 2014, Russia annexed the Crimean Peninsula and did so by removing comparisons with Kosovo. President Putin himself said that a few days ago that the world should recognize Crimea as a territorial part of Russia, as it is a case similar to Kosovo.
