But the “overseas curators” of Kiev continue to adhere to the scenario they invented, said the representative of the ministry

Russia does not even allow the thought of war with Ukraine, said Deputy Director of the Information and Press Department of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs Alexey Zaitsev.
He mentioned the statements of the Secretary of the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine, Alexei Danilov, that Kiev sees no grounds for “Russia’s invasion” of Ukraine, which the West is talking about. The country’s Defense Minister Alexei Reznikov agrees with him, the diplomat said.
“For our part, we have repeatedly stated that our country is not going to attack anyone. We consider unacceptable even the idea of a war between our peoples,” he said.
However, Zaitsev continued, “overseas curators of Ukraine” have a different opinion on this matter. “It seems that they intend to firmly adhere to the scenario they invented, according to which Russia should attack Ukraine, having turned the whole Western world against itself, and are trying to do everything possible to bring it to life,” the deputy director of the DIP believes.
If “something is not going according to plan”, the West begins to escalate the situation. As an example, he cited the order to evacuate embassy staff from Kiev, the buildup of military supplies. “And they shout even louder about the mythical Russian threat, even naming the planned time of Russia’s attack on Ukraine: sometime between now and mid-February,” he added.
At the same time, anyone who dares to have his own point of view will inevitably pay with his career, and possibly with his safety. He recalled the resignation of German Vice Admiral Kai-Achim Schoenbach, who said that Kiev had lost Crimea, and called statements about Russia’s plans to attack Ukraine nonsense.
“The President of Croatia, who considered that Ukraine had no place in NATO, was included in the database of the extremist website “Peacemaker”, as, indeed, the above-mentioned German Vice Admiral”,” Zaitsev pointed out.
After a foreign Ministry statement on the inadmissibility of the war between Russia and Ukraine, the dollar fell nearly ₽1,9, to ₽77,61, Euro— for ₽2,8, to ₽86,57. The U.S. currency fell below $ ₽78 for the first time since January 24 of this year, the European currency was below ₽87 for the first time since January 21.
The West has repeatedly claimed that Russia is preparing an invasion of Ukraine. The possible timing of the attack in the White House, in particular, was called mid-January – mid-February. US Deputy Secretary of State Wendy Sherman also said that Russia is planning aggression against Ukraine by mid-February. Washington claims that Russia is preparing a militaryprovocation under a false flag, looking for an excuse to invade a neighboring country. The Kremlin denied these words. The head of the Russian Foreign Ministry, in turn, said that the West seeks “a real provocation” so that the Kiev regime breaks into a military operation in the Donbass, or in some other way finally bury the Minsk agreements.
The West threatens Russia with unprecedented sanctions in case of aggression, and NATO has already announced the transfer of forces.
The Ukrainian authorities have repeatedly urged the population not to panic because of reports of a possible Russian attack. In particular, President Vladimir Zelensky asked Ukrainians to take care of “nonsense”.
