Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation Alexander PankinMOSCOW, February 8 Russia's «attack» on neighboring countries is a crazy fix idea of the West, which is ready to invent a reason for the next sanctions, Deputy Foreign Minister Alexander Pankin said in an interview with RIA Novosti. «By and large, it has long been clear that even in the absence of grounds for applying such restrictions to Russia will be found, or rather invented, including, as we have already emphasized, the crazy fix idea about «Russia's attack on neighboring countries,» he said. Kiev and Western states have recently been constantly declaring an alleged increase in «aggressive actions» on the part of Russia near the borders of Ukraine, threatening to impose sanctions.Presidential spokesman Dmitry Peskov said that Russia was moving troops within its territory and at its own discretion.According to him, this does not threaten anyone and should not worry anyone.Russia has repeatedly responded accuses the West and Ukraine of «aggressive actions», saying that it does not threaten anyone and does not intend to attack anyone, and statements about «Russian aggression» are used as an excuse to place more NATO military equipment near Russian borders. The Russian Foreign Ministry previously noted that Western statements about «Russian aggression» and the possibility of helping Kiev defend itself against it are both ridiculous and dangerous. >Putin called the actions of the West in Ukraine «bad sandbox»
