The scenario of Russia’s “attack” on Ukrainian territory presented by Washington is not at all surprising, the Russian embassy in the United States said.
“We are not surprised by the appearance of a new “creative” scenario, announced by the press secretaries of the State Department and the Pentagon on February 3, about Russia’s allegedly preparing an operation against Ukraine under a “foreign flag.” This is typical of the United States,” the diplomatic department said in a Facebook statement.
Recall that earlier a number of leading American media, citing sources in the United States administration, said that Russia allegedly prepared a video with an attack by Ukrainian troops on civilians in the Russian Federation or Donbass in order to “create a pretext for an invasion of Ukraine.”
Press Secretary of the President of Russia Dmitry Peskov stressed that this is not the first time that the American media have published all sorts of “invasion plans”, but nothing followed them.
