The statements of the US Secretary of State that Russia may stage an incident to use force in Ukraine is a provocation that has nothing to do with reality. This was stated by the Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs of Russia Sergei Ryabkov in an interview. TASS…
“The statement itself is a great provocation. The statement is intended for laymen, for people who blindly believe in American propaganda. A cynical prank, juggling with phraseology that has nothing to do with reality, ”Ryabkov said.
