Ukrainian military on the contact line in Donetsk regionWASHINGTON, Jan 28 Ukraine sees ongoing opportunities for a diplomatic solution, Pentagon chief Lloyd Austin said. wp-content/uploads/2022/01/363d075e14d4f7fbaf804bd52d0a183b.jpg» />Ukraine wanted to «gift» a non-existent Russian region to the United StatesKiev and Western states have recently expressed concern about the alleged increase in «aggressive actions» by Russia near the borders of Ukraine. Moscow has repeatedly denied such accusations, saying that it does not threaten anyone and does not intend to attack anyone, and claims of «Russian aggression» are used as an excuse to place 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. 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 worry anyone. As Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said, Russia does not create any pretexts for a conflict situation around Ukraine. According to him, Russia does not rule out that the hysteria around Ukraine, hyped by the West, is aimed at covering Kiev's line of sabotaging the Minsk agreements on Donbass. According to the press secretary of the President of the Russian Federation, the information hysteria of the US and NATO over Ukraine is generously framed by lies and fakes. in Ukraine
