Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs Spokesperson Maria ZakharovaMOSCOW, Feb 12 The story of the removal of the British flag from the embassy in Kiev is part of the information parade-alle about Russia's alleged «invasion» of Ukraine, said Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova. Previously, the national flag was removed from the British embassy in Kiev. At the moment, there is no light in the embassy, there is no security near the building.The ex-diplomat commented on the removal of the flag from the British Embassy in Kiev «This (the removal of the flag — ed.) occurs when the embassy officially stops its work. It happens in different ways. It happened in those cases, for example, the Russian Consulate General in San Francisco, which was closed by the same completely far-fetched decree from Washington, was due to the fact that there was supposedly an intelligence nest of the Russian Federation,» Zakharova said on the Soloviev Live YouTube channel. According to her, in the West instead of immediately saying about the evacuation of their diplomatic staff from Ukraine, because Western countries could be preparing provocations, they began to talk about the fact that Russia had taken the embassy out of Kiev because of Moscow's alleged preparation of an «invasion».
Will Russia save Ukraine»And it (the Russian Embassy in Kiev) continues to work. And this is all the parade-alle, which is part of the information and political provocative activities,” said the official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry. The West accuses the Russian Federation of alleged plans to escalate the situation around Ukraine. Moscow categorically denies this and constantly says that no one is threatened, and all such statements are used as an excuse to place 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.
