MOSCOW, 16 Feb. During the broadcast of the Reuters agency from Kiev, the anthem of the Soviet Union sounded, the video was posted on the agency's YouTube channel. British tabloids the day before set the time for the «invasion of Ukraine» — supposedly this will happen at three o'clock Wednesday morning local time. The Kremlin commented with irony on this information, the press secretary of the President of Russia Dmitry Peskov suggested that Ukrainians set an alarm clock for this. The description of the broadcast states that Russia is withdrawing troops from the border with Ukraine, but «the West says it has not yet seen evidence.» During the broadcast, other musical pieces were also heard from time to time, as well as a sound similar to television broadcast . The broadcast began about seven hours ago and is currently ongoing. In recent months, relations between Russia and the West have become even more tense. Washington and Brussels accuse Moscow of preparing an “invasion” of Ukraine and, against this background, are strengthening their presence in Eastern Europe. Russia rejects all claims and reminds that Kiev does not comply with the Minsk agreements: the Ukrainian authorities have concentrated half of the army’s personnel near the line of contact and are firing at militias from banned weapons. The Kremlin and the Foreign Ministry have repeatedly indicated that the goal of the “aggression” stuffing is to build up a foreign group near the Russian borders. They also explained that the main reason for the escalation is the actions of the United States and NATO, which are «pumping» Ukraine with weapons, thereby pushing it towards military adventures. >U.S. Ambassador demanded proof from Russia that there would be no «invasion»
