American politicians have always lied, creating pretexts to attack other countries. This was stated by Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova, commenting on the words of US national security adviser Jake Sullivan that Russia intends to create a pretext for attacking Ukraine.

"American politicians have lied, are lying and will lie, creating pretexts to attack civilians around the world. Everyone knows this. I would ask the American political establishment not to take another sin on their souls, but I'm not sure that they have it," - Zakharova wrote in her Telegram channel.

Not to be unfounded, she recalled the history of the test tube, which was brandished by US Secretary of State Colin Powell at the UN Security Council in 2003 to rally support for the invasion of Iraq.

"The world already knows who lies all the time. And those who have forgotten how Washington "creates pretexts for an attack", let them watch the speech of US Secretary of State Colin Powell in the UN Security Council on February 5, 2003," Zakharova said. As the representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry drew attention, at that time Washington had already decided to invade Iraq, which Powell himself later admitted. He later stated in the US Congress that it was unlikely that it would be possible to find in Iraq the weapons of mass destruction with which he frightened the Security Council. Sullivan) Mr. Powell called nothing but "low level and unsatisfactory," Zakharova noted.
