Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov during talks with British Foreign Minister Elizabeth Truss in MoscowMOSCOW, 18 Feb. Western statements about Russia's «invasion» of Ukraine are propaganda, fakes and fabrications, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said. «The main thing is that the authors of these fakes themselves believe in what they are talking about. They like it. If it's pleasant for yourself, please. Why not do it?» — Lavrov said in an interview with RT. According to the minister, this brings a smile.Biden's words about the «attack on Ukraine» are escalating the situation, the Kremlin said, «Adults are «spouting» forecasts, spells every day. Politico magazine has already changed the date of the «invasion» several times. Now it is announcing February 20. At the same time, the head of the Foreign Office, Truss, said, that an «invasion» could follow at any moment for many months. They are already «beating off» their prospects. US Secretary of State (Anthony) Blinken said that the «invasion» is a matter of weeks, and maybe days. We know that the State Department confidentially informed his NATO allies that they should wait until the end of February for an «invasion», while the Secretary General of the alliance (Jens) Stoltenberg … states that they have no data on the absolute probability of an «attack,» the Foreign Minister added. that, in parallel, the Foreign Office declares: “whatever happens, we must be on our guard.” “They say that even if Russia withdraws its troops, the threat will not disappear. They are laying the «bricks» for the future. The exercises will end — the troops will return to the barracks. The process is already underway, they saw it. But they «hammer» the topic for «forever and ever»: «even if Russia returns its troops to where they are constantly deployed, the threat still comes,» the minister explained.Peskov advised Ukrainians to set an alarm clock so as not to oversleep the «invasion» Plans attributed to Russia to escalate the situation around Ukraine in Moscow are categorically denied and constantly state that they are not threatening anyone, and all such statements are used as an excuse to place more NATO military equipment nearby 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 information hysteria of the USA and NATO on Ukraine is generously framed by lies and fakes. Allegations that Russia is allegedly preparing provocations in Ukraine continue to come from the West, despite the return of Russian troops to their places of deployment after the exercises . On Monday, Russian President Vladimir Putin held a meeting with Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov and Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu. At a meeting with Putin, the head of the Russian Defense Ministry reported that «some of the exercises are coming to an end, some will be completed in the near future.» The official representative of the Russian Defense Ministry, Major General Igor Konashenkov, said on Tuesday that the Southern and Western military districts of the Russian Federation began returning troops to their places of deployment. The withdrawal of the military to the places of deployment after the exercises is a common practice, there is nothing new, the press secretary of President Peskov told reporters earlier when asked if the withdrawal of troops means a de-escalation of the situation around Ukraine.Panic over «invasion» rumors works against Ukraine, Zelensky says
