Russia (bbabo.net), - Moscow has warned more than once about the terrible danger due to the concentration of Ukrainian military near the line of demarcation. Provocations began, an exchange of blows, and Kiev delivered the first blows. This was stated by the press secretary of the President of the Russian Federation Dmitry Peskov, answering questions from journalists.

The Kremlin does not plan negotiations with Kiev due to the aggravation of the situation in the Donbass. But the situation causes very deep concern. "We have repeatedly warned that the excessive concentration of the armed forces of Ukraine in the immediate vicinity of the contact line, coupled with possible provocations, could pose a terrible danger. Now we see that there are provocations, we see reports from representatives of the self-proclaimed republics that an exchange of blows is taking place on the line of contact, that the blows came just from the side of Ukraine," Peskov stated.

"This is alarming information. We continue to observe, we will see how the situation develops," the press secretary of the Russian leader said. He expressed hope that the West would use its influence to warn Kiev against escalating tensions.

The situation on the Russian-Ukrainian border is stable, Peskov said. "As for the line of contact with the territory of the unrecognized self-proclaimed republics, tension is growing there," he said. Peskov recalled the repeated statements by the Ukrainian military that they do not see any emergency potential on the part of Russian territory, which contrasts strongly with the statements of other countries, "which all the time refer to their intelligence, which the Ukrainians themselves do not confirm."
