Russia (bbabo.net), - Moscow is not going to attack anyone, and the practice of moving troops on its own soil is the sovereign right of Russia. This was once again emphasized in the Russian Embassy in the United States, commenting on the words of American officials about the plans attributed to Russia to escalate the situation around Ukraine.
"We call for an end to hysterics and not to escalate tension around the Donbass problem, and most importantly, not to push "hot heads" in Kiev to new provocations," the statement posted on the embassy's official Facebook page says.
According to Russian diplomats, if the United States is truly committed to diplomatic efforts to resolve the intra-Ukrainian conflict, then Washington should refuse to supply new arms to the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Instead, the American side should use its influence on the Ukrainian authorities and convince them to stop sabotaging the Minsk agreements, the statement emphasizes.
The territory of Ukraine is being mastered by suppliers of weapons, often offensive ones, Dmitry Peskov, the press secretary of the President of Russia, said earlier, commenting on the words of the British Minister of Defense about the supply of anti-tank weapons to Ukraine, as well as the calls of US senators to send "Stingers" to the republic. According to Peskov, this is extremely dangerous and does not help reduce tensions.
