Permanent Representative of the Russian Federation to the UN Vasily Nebenzya at a meeting of the UN Security Council for Ukraine at the UN Headquarters in New York. January 31, 2022UN, Jan 31 Panic around Ukraine is needed by those who promote the mythical threat from Russia, Russian Permanent Representative to the UN Vasily Nebenzya said at a UN Security Council meeting. Nebenzya recalled that President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky asked the Western countries not to stir up groundless hysterics around the presence of Russian troops near the border, since all this hype harms the Ukrainian economy.The Ukrainian military dream of tearing the Russians with their bare hands»We don't need this panic, Mr. Zelensky said. It seems that those who promote the theme of the mythical Russian threat need it,» Nebenzya said. He also called today's UN Security Council meeting on Ukraine, held at the request of the United States, an example of megaphone diplomacy and whipping up hysteria. According to him, the United States, when proposing to hold the current meeting of the UN Security Council, indicated that they consider the deployment of Russian military on Russian territory as a threat to international peace and security. «This is not only an unacceptable interference in the internal affairs of our state, but also an attempt to introduce into misleading the international community about the situation in the region and because of the current tension,» Nebenzya said. He pointed out that Russia has consistently denied these baseless allegations.Ukraine is preparing staged stories about the Russian attack, the LPR said Kiev and Western states have recently expressed concern about the alleged increase in «aggressive actions» by Russia near the borders of Ukraine. Moscow has repeatedly denied such accusations, saying that it does not threaten anyone and does not intend 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 noted earlier that Western statements about «Russian aggression» and the possibility of helping Kiev defend itself against it are both ridiculous and dangerous. 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 worry anyone. As Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said, 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, the information hysteria of the US and NATO on Ukraine is generously framed by lies and fakes. Pushilin said
