Russia will not attack Ukraine,

There will be no large-scale Russian aggression against Ukraine. There are minimal risks, but sending troops to the Ukrainian border is just a show of force with no intention of using it.

About this in BBC interview told the Vice Prime Minister – Minister for Reintegration of the Temporarily Occupied Territories of Ukraine Alexey Reznikov. He believes that one of the reasons for Russia’s actions is to divert the attention of the domestic consumer to external threats.

“As minimal (assesses aggression – ed.). There are risks, they should not be underestimated, but I believe and hope that all the same, what is happening, it is rather a demonstration of force without the intention of using it – for a specific purpose… Therefore, I think that this (the direction of troops to the border – ed.) Now a signal from the official Russia: invite us to the conversation. We are so powerful, strong, we must be reckoned with and talked to through the risks that we are showing you. I think this is their main goal, “Reznikov said.

In addition, he stressed that there is an internal factor, because of which Russia will not take aggressive actions.

“Autumn elections to the State Duma of Russia. They have their own internal difficulties of an economic nature, first of all, this is a rise in the price of the consumer basket by 30%. This cannot but arouse the population, as well as the events in Khabarovsk, the excitement associated with the arrest of Navalny. These are all internal difficulties, so you need to take a simple technological step – divert the attention of the internal consumer to external threats and risks “, – added Reznikov.

He also stressed that Ukraine is not planning any attack on the “DPR” and “LPR”.

“These are far-fetched messages, so that by the very fact of voicing them, they show the risk of another” crucified boy “appearing. Nobody plans to attack anyone, so no help is needed there,” Reznikov noted.

As reported OBOZREVATEL, Galina Pishnyak, who told the fake about “crucified boy” in Donbass in 2014, now she regrets that she spoke about this invented story.
