Russia’s reaction to British claims; is nonsense”.
The Russian Foreign Ministry says that the publication of incorrect information by the British Foreign Office shows that these NATO countries are led by the Anglo-Saxons, which are escalating tensions around Ukraine.
The Russian government has reacted to allegations by the British Foreign Office about the Kremlin’s plan to nominate someone close to it for power in Ukraine.
According to Sputnik, the Russian Foreign Ministry on Sunday morning condemned London’s baseless allegations, calling them “nonsense.”
Moscow saw the British Foreign Office’s claims as another attempt by Western countries to escalate tensions in the region.
“The false information released by the British Foreign Office is further evidence that these NATO countries are led by the Anglo-Saxons, which are escalating tensions around Ukraine,” the statement said.
Earlier, London accused the Russian government of pursuing a plan to appoint pro-government politicians to power in Ukraine without providing any documents. (More details)
Since last month, the American media has been spying on the possibility of a Russian invasion of Ukraine earlier this year, escalating tensions in Eastern Europe. Russia has strongly denied the allegations, but insisted that continued artillery fire by Ukrainian forces against the Russian-speaking Autonomous Region would provoke a Moscow backlash.
In order to reduce tensions over Ukraine, Moscow has made proposals to ensure Western security for Russia, including not extending the NATO military alliance to its borders and withdrawing NATO troops from the region. Last week, Russia’s envoy met with US and NATO counterparts to discuss the proposals, but the West ultimately rejected them.
On Friday, the British military sent a special operations brigade to Ukraine to teach Kiev troops how to use their new anti-tank weapons to help counter possible threats against Ukraine.
