— Hind Hassan (@HindHassanNews) January 30, 2022 According to the head of the Ukrainian Foreign Ministry, markets and people need to understand that Kiev and its partners are working to prevent the «worst case scenario.» According to Kuleba, some Western allies due to «lack of political will» is not as actively helping Ukraine as they could be. However, the minister refrained from naming specific countries. Earlier, President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky told reporters that today he does not see a greater escalation around the country than before, while noting that the situation is escalating. According to him, «the feeling is from the media that we have a war, troops are walking along the roads, mobilization, people are going somewhere, this is not so, we do not need this panic.» He also added that statements about a possible escalation of the situation with the Russian Federation caused a panic in the markets and the financial sector, this negatively affects the economy, investors began to withdraw money from Ukraine. no one is threatened, and all such statements are used as an excuse to deploy more NATO military equipment near Russian borders. As Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said earlier, 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 Dmitry Peskov, the US and NATO information hysteria over Ukraine is generously framed by lies and fakes. The Russian Federation stated that the US and the West are hysterically developing the topic of threat and escalation in Ukraine.
