Embassy of Russia in the USA on the page in Facebook commented on the statements of the White House and the Pentagon about the allegedly impending Russian invasion of Ukraine and the search for a pretext for this. The diplomatic mission noted that representatives of the US administration describe in detail the scenarios of possible provocations and their dates, but do not provide evidence.
The embassy emphasized that such a formulation of the issue confirms the ongoing information pressure on Russia, and by the same methods: a sensation is thrown in, which is subsequently replicated by the Western media and turns into the main newsbreak.
For our part, we would like to warn our colleagues against such adventures. We declare once again: the unceasing accusations against us in the United States (both at the official level and in the media) are unfounded and cannot have any evidence. We call on the United States to engage in substantive work to ensure security guarantees on the basis of the draft treaties proposed by the Russian side
The diplomatic mission recalled that Russia opposes the war and hopes for a diplomatic solution to all international problems.
