President of Ukraine Vladimir Zelensky asked for information (if any) that Russia was planning an “invasion” on 16 February.
“If you or some people have additional information about the 100% invasion of Ukraine by the Russian Federation starting on the 16th, please give us such information,” Zelensky suggested during a conversation with reporters on February 12.
At the same time, he expressed the opinion that now there is too much information on this topic in the information space.
The Ukrainian authorities understand that “there are risks,” Zelensky assured. And he added that the country needs to be ready for any steps “from any border”, writes TASS.
Earlier, the American newspaper Politico wrote that US President Joe Biden at a videoconference with the leaders of Western countries, the European Union and NATO called the date of Russia’s “invasion” of Ukraine on February 16. And national security adviser to the American leader Jake Sullivan said that Russia could allegedly launch an invasion of Ukraine. before the Winter Olympics in Beijing.
Commenting on this information, the head of the State Duma Committee on International Affairs, Leonid Slutsky, said that the Western media are artificially fueling the myth of the “Russian threat”, for which they spread false information about the “invasion” of Ukraine. As Slutsky wrote in the Telegram channel, Politico and Bloomberg continue to work in the “fake weekend” genre.
