The journalists later posted a post in which they apologized for the incident, calling it a mistake.

“We’re preparing headlines for a lot of scenarios, and the headline ‘Russia Invades Ukraine’ was inadvertently posted around 4:00 pm ET on our website. We deeply regret the mistake,” the message reads.

It is noted that the erroneous title has already been removed, the circumstances of the publication of the material about the “invasion” are now being investigated.

Earlier, on February 2, White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki announced that the United States was refusing to use the word “imminent” regarding a possible Russian invasion of Ukraine, as it misrepresented Washington’s message.

The official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry, Maria Zakharova, on Thursday, commenting on Psaki’s statement, ironically noted that high-like (highly likely, from the English “very likely.” – Ed.), That “cuckoos” flew in to replace “foxes and chickens”. Thus, the official representative of the Foreign Ministry also recalled another strange phrase of the US representatives.

So, Psaki and US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken earlier in February compared Russia to a fox that screams about the danger from chickens on the roof of a chicken coop. In response, the first deputy head of the Duma Committee on International Affairs, Vyacheslav Nikonov, noted that comparing Ukraine with a chicken coop should be offensive to Kiev.

At the same time, the press secretary of the Russian leader Dmitry Peskov also recalled that traditionally Russia has always been compared to a bear and, with all the desire, he cannot climb onto the roof of the chicken coop, he is too big.

Western politicians and media representatives continue to spread numerous speculations about possible Russian aggression against Ukraine. The Russian side has repeatedly refuted such statements, emphasizing that it has no plans to invade a neighboring country.

Thus, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said that Russia is not going to start a war with Ukraine, and Western countries and the United States are “hysterically” developing the topic of a threat to Ukraine from the Russian Federation instead of forcing Ukraine to comply with the Minsk agreements.
