Earlier, White House press secretary Jen Psaki said that the responsibility for de-escalating the crisis around Ukraine lies on Russia, which she compared to a fox screaming from the roof of a chicken coop about being afraid of chickens.

He noted that the fox wants to attack the chicken coop because «chickens are a threat.» «Blinken and Psaki compared Russia to a fox on the roof of a chicken coop, screaming about danger from chickens … It's insulting to call Ukraine a chicken coop. This is worthy of Kiev's protest … Continuing the fabulous terminology, in Sherkhan settled in the chicken coop a long time ago and tobacco is being picked up. Therefore, there are almost no chickens left there. And not a single rooster, so there is no one to protest. Do not confuse the fox and the bear — taking into account the consequences, «Nikonov wrote in his telegram channel.Psaki failed to evaluate the State Duma deputies' proposal to recognize the DPR and LPR
