File photoMOSCOW, Jan 26 Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov, commenting on possible sanctions against Moscow, said that the West is in a military frenzy. «As for the sanctions: we see that our Western colleagues are without exaggeration in some kind of military frenzy, they only talk about this: we will punish (if) you attack. You read all those hysterical expressions in which the West formulates its position, «Lavrov told reporters. He stressed that the Russian Federation is ready in the most reliable way protect their interests and security and is ready for any development of events. «We are ready for any development of events. We did not attack anyone, we always attacked us, and those who did it always got what they deserved. Therefore, to speculate that throwing our Western partners who are in prostration and, apparently, don’t really know how to get out of the impasse into which they have driven themselves, I won’t,” the minister said. Russia has repeatedly rejected the accusations of the West and Ukraine of escalating tion, declaring that he is not threatening anyone and is not going to attack anyone, and that he is moving troops within his territory and at his own discretion, this does not threaten anyone and should not worry anyone. 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 US and NATO information hysteria over Ukraine is generously framed by lies and fakes. sanctions
