MOSCOW: The Kremlin said on Wednesday that Russia鈥檚 confrontation with hostile states and what it called a 鈥渉ybrid war鈥� being waged against it by the West would last a long time.

鈥淚f you are referring to a war in a broader context, a confrontation with hostile states, a hybrid war against our country, then it is going to last for a long time,鈥� Peskov told reporters.
鈥淎nd here we need to be resolute and self-confident and to consolidate around the president,鈥� he said.
