File photoMOSCOW, Jan 20Accusations against Moscow of an allegedly possible «attack» on Ukraine are a bluff, they are trying to provoke Russia, but Moscow will not give in, said Konstantin Gavrilov, head of the Russian delegation at the talks in Vienna on military security and arms control, Konstantin Gavrilov. «They use these speculations, to influence the position of Russia, nothing more. It was said at all levels — we are not going to attack Ukraine, we do not need it. This is propaganda in order to have a good negotiating position before starting real negotiations. I think that this is all a bluff. They blame Russia for everything, no matter what happens, but we firmly declare in response — no, we do not do this,» Gavrilov said on the air of the RT TV channel. ffcf9eb2fce00cd5eea9e9b1ad44ce4e.jpg» />Biden persuades Russia to invade Ukraine, but not very deep «But there may be provocations from Ukrainian forces on the border. And we are doing everything possible to prevent them, this has been stated at all levels in Russia,» he added. Russia more than once rejected accusations by the West and Ukraine of «aggressive actions», stating that it does not threaten anyone and is not going to attack anyone, and claims of «Russian aggression» are used as an excuse to place more NATO military equipment near Russian borders. The Russian Foreign Ministry previously noted that Western statements about «Russian aggression» and the possibility of helping Kiev defend itself against it are both ridiculous and dangerous. At the same time, Kiev and Western states have recently expressed concern about the alleged increase in «aggressive actions» sides of Russia near the borders of Ukraine. Press Secretary of the President of the Russian Federation Dmitry Peskov said that Russia is moving troops within its territory and at its own discretion. According to him, this does not threaten anyone and should not bother anyone.
