The ex-deputy of the Rada said that the United States will soon hand over Ukraine to RussiaWestern countries and Ukraine periodically try to accuse Moscow of «pulling» troops to the Ukrainian border. The Russian Foreign Ministry has repeatedly refuted these reports, calling them «another invention of Kiev.» Vladimir Putin emphasized that Moscow was not going to attack anyone. According to him, the Russian threat is «an invention of those who want to cash in on their role as the vanguard of the fight against Russia, to receive some bonuses and preferences for this.» including the use of prohibited equipment. Moreover. The United States and its NATO allies have recently significantly increased their military activity in the Black Sea. The Ministry of Defense believes that the United States is trying to create a group of troops near the Russian borders, and one of Washington's goals is the military development of Ukrainian territory. As Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov noted earlier, the alliance is increasing arms supplies to Ukraine, where the number of Western instructors has increased. According to the diplomat, this could provoke the Ukrainian authorities into «military adventures,» which poses a direct threat to Russia's security. Putin has previously stressed that the further expansion of NATO to the east and the deployment of offensive weapons on Ukrainian territory and in neighboring countries are red lines for Moscow.
