Former People's Deputy of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine Volodymyr Oleinik. File photoMOSCOW, Jan 23Former deputy of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine Volodymyr Oleinik believes that with statements about Russia's alleged intention to bring «pro-Russian forces» to power in Kiev, London is pushing President Volodymyr Zelensky to resolve the conflict in Donbass by force. they allegedly plan to «imprison» a «pro-Russian leader» in Kiev, who is named in the ministry's statement as former deputy of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine Yevhen Muraev.Ukraine is cannon fodder. Britain's plan for the redistribution of Europe became known News. He recalled that unsubstantiated accusations that Russia was pulling troops to the border with Ukraine were first heard in the West, while «the Ukrainian authorities denied and said that they did not see any desire to invade — and the Americans printed some photographs, convinced, and then Ukrainian officials began to repeat this nonsense. «» It seems to me that today is the same story. They prop it up and say that Russia will invade, there will be a new government, so you (Zelensky — ed.) need to resolve the Donbass issue by force. They push him to provocations,» Oleinik concluded. He did not rule out that Kiev would arrange it before the start of the Winter Olympics in Beijing. 132efea07b3e.jpg» />The Russian Foreign Ministry called the British statement on Ukraine disinformation»The Americans do everything with clichés — 2008 Olympics in Beijing, 2014 — Olympics in Russia. Before February 4 (opening day of the Olympic Games in Beijing — ed.), I think they will be ready for a provocation to spoil this holiday for China by blaming Russia for everything,» the former Ukrainian MP noted. The statement of the British Foreign Office was made a few hours after the Russian Foreign Ministry had warned about impending information and military provocations from the West, in particular the United States, on Ukrainian topics. At the same time, the British department did not provide any evidence of their statements. The Russian Foreign Ministry, commenting on the statement of the British Foreign Office, called it disinformation and another evidence that it was the NATO countries, led by the Anglo-Saxons, who were escalating tensions around Ukraine. Muraev, who fell under Russian sanctions in 2018, in response to this, said that his family's «assets were arrested there», and how it all fits together with the British intelligence services and the Foreign Office — «this is a question for Mr. Bean.» The British Foreign Office's statement about Muraev is the second discrepancy in the judgments of British diplomacy under the leadership of Liz Truss in two days: on Friday, speaking at the Lowy Institute think tank in Sydney, she said that Ukraine had survived many invasions — «from the Mongols to the Tatars.» The official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry, Maria Zakharova, after Truss's statements on Ukraine, asked about the educational institution that issued the diploma to the minister. Russia has repeatedly rejected the accusations of the West and Ukraine of «aggressive actions», stating that it does not threaten anyone and is not going to attack anyone, but claims of «Russian aggression» are being used as an excuse to deploy more NATO military equipment near Russian borders. The Russian Foreign Ministry noted earlier that Western statements about «Russian aggression» and the possibility of helping Kiev defend itself against it are both ridiculous and dangerous. At the same time, Kiev and Western states have recently expressed concern about the alleged increase in «aggressive actions» by Russia near the borders of Ukraine. Press Secretary of the President of the Russian Federation Dmitry Peskov said that Russia is moving troops within its territory and at its own discretion. According to him, this does not threaten anyone and should not bother anyone.
