Another masterpiece of US propaganda war. Unnamed officials, undisclosed sources, no evidence. And as we all saw, if you openly question such fakes you won't get answers and will be labled— Dmitry Polyanskiy (@Dpol_un) February 6, 2022 The day before, in the United States, some media, in particular Reuters, released materials citing «American representatives» that Russia supposedly «has about 70 percent of the combat power, which, in its opinion, required for a full-scale invasion of Ukraine.» On Sunday, the New York Times published an article in which it reported, citing unnamed officials, about «possible huge human losses» in the event of a conflict in Ukraine. According to the authors of the publication, among civilians the number of victims could be from 25 thousand to 50 thousand, among the military personnel of Ukraine — from five thousand to 25 thousand, among the military personnel of Russia — from three thousand to ten thousand. Prior to this, a headline appeared on the Bloomberg website about » Russian invasion of Ukraine, then it was removed. The agency stated that there was an error and promised to investigate the circumstances of the incident.The Rada spoke about the «flight» of the population from Kiev due to the «invasion» of Russia people, grieving relatives, Ukrainian weapons and Turkish-made drones. According to Washington, such a fake could be a pretext for starting hostilities. At a briefing on Thursday, State Department spokesman Ned Price suggested that journalists who asked him to provide evidence of these allegations should take the word of the American government, and if they don’t like it, seek “solace” in Russian information. He himself did not provide any evidence. Kiev and Western countries have recently been constantly declaring the intensification of «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. At the same time, allegations of «aggression» are being used as a pretext to deploy more NATO military equipment near Russian borders. Since 2014, NATO countries, led by the United States, have been supplying weapons to Ukraine and training its military, which directly violates the Minsk agreements and negatively affects settlement in Donbass. In addition to the Americans, Great Britain, Canada, France, Poland, Turkey, Lithuania, Czech Republic, Bulgaria, Romania, Estonia are involved in deliveries worth billions of dollars. />American intelligence officer described the scenario of the war between Russia and the United States
