First Deputy Representative of Russia to the UN Dmitry Polyansky called on the United States to respond to the shelling of Donetsk. In your account at Twitter he said that Ukraine violates the Minsk agreements.
“While the West continues its hype around allegedly possible plans of Russia to attack Ukraine, the Ukrainian army continues shelling residential areas, killing and maiming civilians, blatantly violating the Minsk agreements. Where is the reaction of the US Permanent Mission to the UN?” Polyansky said.
Earlier, The New York Times and The Washington Post wrote that US intelligence had found evidence that Russia was planning to fabricate a pretext to invade Ukraine. According to them, on February 3, Moscow will allegedly show a fake video showing Ukrainian provocations on Russian territory or against the Russian-speaking population in eastern Ukraine. The information is given with reference to senior officials of the US presidential administration who were not named by name and position. At the same time, the publications admit that “the sources did not provide any direct evidence of the Russian plan” and details of its receipt.
At the same time, the Russian side has repeatedly denied plans to launch an invasion. On the contrary, Moscow fears that Kiev may stage a provocation at the border. However, as White House press secretary Jen Psaki said, the US authorities no longer use the term “imminent” in the matter of a possible “invasion” of Ukraine.
On February 3, the press secretary of the President of Russia Dmitry Peskov commented on the data of the American media about the plans of Russia’s allegedly planned “invasion” of Ukraine. According to a Kremlin spokesman, this is not the first time such materials have been published in the United States, but nothing followed.
