Western media, citing a statement by Russian presidential spokesman Dmitry Peskov, reported that Russia could deploy offensive weapons in Ukraine.
Such messages are “their words”, you need to take into account the context, said the press secretary of the President of Russia Dmitry Peskov to the question RIA News about whether Russia has such plans.
Peskov gave an interview to CNN, the full version of the interview will be released on Sunday.
Bloomberg, citing a transcript of Peskov’s interview, reported that he allegedly stated that Russia was not saying that it was not going to deploy offensive weapons in Ukraine.
Russia has repeatedly rejected accusations by the West and Ukraine of “aggressive actions.” Russia does not threaten anyone and does not intend to attack anyone. Statements about “Russian aggression” are used as pretext for deploying NATO troops near Russia’s borders.
The Foreign Ministry said earlier that Western statements about “Russian aggression” and NATO’s ability to help Kiev defend itself against “aggression” are both ridiculous and dangerous.
Ukraine and the West are expressing concern about the intensification of “aggressive actions” by Russia near the borders of Ukraine.
Peskov noted in this regard that Russia moves troops within its territory at its own discretion. This does not threaten anyone and should not bother anyone.
