— Jens Stoltenberg (@jensstoltenberg) January 19, 2022 Earlier, NATO has repeatedly stated about the threat to Ukraine in connection with the military strengthening of Russia on the border. Russia has repeatedly rejected accusations of the West and Ukraine of «aggressive actions», saying that it does not threaten anyone who is not going to be attacked, and statements about «Russian aggression» are used as an excuse to place more NATO military equipment near Russian borders. The Russian Foreign Ministry previously noted that Western statements about «Russian aggression» and the ability to help Kiev defend itself against it are both ridiculous and dangerous. >CIA teaches Ukrainian special forces to kill Russians.
