When the US sets fire to DonbasAccording to State Department spokesman Ned Price, the embassy will return to Kiev «when it is safe «.Ukrainian issueThe transfer of the diplomatic mission is connected with the aggravation of the situation around Ukraine. In recent months, the US and other NATO countries have accused Moscow of plotting an «invasion.» According to the American media, President Joe Biden told European leaders that Russia would «attack» the neighboring state on February 16. The Kremlin and the Foreign Ministry reject all accusations, emphasizing that Russia is not involved in the internal Ukrainian conflict and does not violate any agreements, unlike Kiev , which does not comply with the Minsk agreements.
