Ukraine on the edge of war.
The situation in the country is normal, despite the inflammations of the Western media in recent days about the possibility of a Russian invasion of Ukraine, although it can not yet be said with certainty that the shadow of war has passed.
As Western media outlets cover the possible Russian invasion of Ukraine on February 16, the Russian Defense Ministry announced that it had returned a number of troops stationed on the border with Ukraine to their bases after military exercises.
The Russians have said they have no plans to invade Ukraine and accuse Western officials of waging a psychological warfare campaign and sending weapons of mass destruction to the region.
Some airlines have canceled flights to Ukraine in recent days due to inflammatory media coverage of the war, but a Fars News Agency correspondent in Kyiv says that the situation in the city has returned to normal on Tuesday, although it is not yet certain. He said that the shadow of war has passed from this country.
Western officials, especially US officials, have threatened Moscow with sanctions and retaliation in recent months, with unsubstantiated allegations that Russian troops may invade Ukraine at any moment. However, the narratives of Western officials regarding these claims have not been consistent.
For example, French Foreign Minister Jean-Yves Le Drian said last night (Monday) while the American media was maneuvering that the Russian military was in an offensive position and speculating about when the attack would begin, that there were still no signs of There is no confirmation that Russian President Vladimir Putin ordered the attack.
Russia has repeatedly denied the claims of Western countries and accused the English-language media of trying to create collective excitement and use it to advance its goals. During these tensions, of course, Moscow stressed the need to receive security guarantees that NATO would not expand into the company and refuse to accept Ukraine as a member of the coalition.
