The Russian Federation is not going to attack Ukraine, the Western and Ukrainian media are escalating the situation, talking about the allegedly planned Russian invasion of this country in early 2022. This was announced on December 4 by a member of the Federation Council Committee on International Affairs from the Republic of Crimea Sergey Tsekov.
“They aggravate the situation, by and large do not think about analyzing the situation … They have chosen this path – every day to talk about the fact that Russia is supposedly going to attack Ukraine, and agreed that this will happen in January. This is nothing more than speculation … Nobody is going to attack Ukraine, we know that. They must show that they work every day, and every day they analyze something and issue such conclusions, ”the RT channel quotes the senator.
According to Tsekov, after January there will be publications that the “attack” will take place in February or March.
“At the same time, they understand that January will pass, everyone will forget what they were talking about, they will start saying that they made a mistake about January, let’s talk about the fact that everything will happen in February or March. Quite a primitive rating system … This is really true: we are not going to attack Ukraine, “he concluded.
Earlier that day, the American newspaper The Washington Post, citing officials in the US administration, reported that Russia allegedly intends to invade Ukraine in early 2022, using “up to 175 thousand troops.” The newspaper also referred to satellite images and reported that the Russian forces were allegedly concentrated in four points. In addition, the newspaper noted that Russia is allegedly conducting an information campaign against Ukraine and NATO in order to accuse Ukraine of a potential escalation.
In response, the official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry, Maria Zakharova, said that the United States was conducting a special operation to aggravate the situation around Ukraine, shifting responsibility to Russia. According to Zakharova, it is based on provocative actions near the Russian borders, accompanied by accusatory rhetoric against Moscow.
Earlier, a number of Western media outlets have already announced an allegedly possible Russian invasion. In particular, on November 22, the American agency Bloomberg, citing sources, reported that, according to US intelligence, the Russian Federation could plan an attack on Ukraine in early 2022 and conduct it from three directions, including through Belarus.
The head of the intelligence department of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine, Kirill Budanov, also announced similar plans. In response to his words, Ukrainian political scientist Mikhail Pogrebinsky said that this was a fake or a political game.
On November 21, the press secretary of the President of the Russian Federation Dmitry Peskov stressed that the West is artificially whipping up hysteria with its statements about the alleged preparation of Russia for an attack on Ukraine. According to him, provocations are not ruled out, and NATO countries should stop “pumping up Ukraine with modern weapons.”
