File photoWASHINGTON, Jan 19 The Russian Embassy in the United States called on the West not to escalate tensions around the situation in Donbass and not to push «hot heads» in Kiev to provocations. This is stated in a statement published on the page of the diplomatic mission on Facebook. This is how they commented on the statements of the American administration that Moscow is allegedly preparing for an escalation of the situation around Ukraine, including from the territory of Belarus.
"We call for an end to hysterics and not to escalate tension around the Donbass problem. And most importantly — do not push "hot heads" in Kiev to new provocations", the embassy noted.
The diplomats added that Russia does not intend to attack anyone. «High-ranking officials of the White House, the State Department and the Pentagon in unison announced the absence of de-escalation steps on the Russian-Ukrainian border. Moreover, they argued that our country could at any moment invade the neighboring state, including from the territory of Belarus. Once again, we emphasize: Russia is not going to attack anyone,» the diplomatic mission reminded. The CIA is teaching Ukrainian special forces to kill Russians. But Russia will be blamed. They also urged Washington to reaffirm its interest in a diplomatic resolution of tensions around Ukraine by refusing to supply weapons to this state. Western politicians in recent months have argued that Russia has amassed troops on the border with Ukraine. As Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov pointed out, the armed forces are moving within the territory of the state — this does not threaten anyone and should not worry anyone. Moscow stressed that statements about «Russian aggression» are being used as a pretext for building up NATO troops in the border regions. US military?
