— Dmitry Polyanskiy (@Dpol_un) February 5, 2022 Earlier, the German tabloid Bild published a report by unnamed secret services about Russia's alleged «plan» to annex Ukraine. The same article cites a commentary by the Russian Embassy in Germany, where the statements made by the publication are called «a strange mixture of speculation and rumors.» The publication of Bild appeared after the nightly publication of the Bloomberg agency about the alleged start of the «invasion» of the Russian Federation into Ukraine. The agency recognized the publication as erroneous and assured that it would look into the reasons. Press Secretary of the President of Russia Dmitry Peskov, commenting on Bloomberg's erroneous publication to RIA Novosti, noted that this fact indicates the danger of aggressive statements by the United States and Western capitals and illustrates how such messages can lead to irreparable consequences. Russia at 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 worry anyone. Russia has repeatedly rejected the accusations of the West and Ukraine of «aggressive actions», stating that it does not threaten anyone and is not going to attack anyone, and statements about «Russian aggression» are used as an excuse to deploy 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.
