“This is no longer a fake, this is an information special operation of the relevant American services through Bloomberg‘ she wrote.

According to her, the American media cannot wait for Russia to “attack”, but this does not happen. “And it seems, according to their logic, a wonderful moment – the Olympics in China, which the same American media, at the suggestion of Washington, have been slinging mud at for several months,” Zakharova explained.

In addition, she compared the current publication with the stories of the American media from July 2008, when the conflict broke out in Georgia. The representative of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs pointed out that a year after the conflict, the international commission to investigate the circumstances of the war, led by the former UN representative in Georgia, Heidi Tagliavini, decided that it was Georgia that started the war. “So we are waiting for provocations from the United States and the Kiev regime led by them, both informational and, it cannot be ruled out, the military,” Zakharova concluded.
