Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova warned that Moscow does not intend to focus on the West's reaction to events in Ukraine, as, among other things, Western countries have repeatedly tried to mislead Russia. The diplomat stated this on the air of Channel One.
“The bottom line is the same: focusing on their reaction is useless and, moreover, harmful. Their task is one, and we understand this very well, ”Zakharova said, adding that the current reality may differ from the statements of Western leaders.
According to the diplomat, Western sanctions against Russia were carefully worked out long before the aggravation of the situation around Ukraine.
Earlier, Zakharova said that the United States “in a boorish manner” refused Russia to negotiate even before the start of the operation in Ukraine.
On February 24, Russian President Vladimir Putin announced that he had decided to conduct a military special operation to protect Donbass in response to a request for help from the heads of the LPR and DPR.
Ukraine severed diplomatic relations with Russia. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has submitted a bill on general mobilization to the Verkhovna Rada.
