Ukraine received missiles from Britain to «war» with the Russian fleetThe alleged plans to escalate the situation around Ukraine in Moscow are categorically denied and constantly say that they are not in danger of anything, and all such statements are used as an excuse to place more NATO military equipment near Russian borders . As 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.
