The Kremlin reacted to the words in its own media about the possibility of a Russian strike against Ukraine in the event of an escalation of the conflict in Donbass, urging to pay attention to publications, but at the same time to be guided by official statements.
The position of the Russian government was expressed by the press secretary of the head of the Russian Federation Dmitry Peskov. He was quoted by the channel “REN TV”.
“Pay attention to publications in the Russian media, but still be guided by official statements and, of course, always proceed from the fact that the safety of the people of Donbass who speak Russian is very important to Russia,” he replied.
Recall: on March 9 on the channel “Russia 1” the main propagandist of the Kremlin Vladimir Soloviev with the guests of the studio discussed the possibility of Russian bombing of Ukrainian cities… The broadcast participants stated that Ukraine is now allegedly attacking Crimea and concentrating its troops in the Donbass. In this regard, as Solovyov said, Russia “has no other options” but to protect “its citizens” from the “Bandera hordes.”
The commander of the Ukrainian Volunteer Army, ex-People’s Deputy Dmitry Yarosh believes that the irregular troops of the Russian army in Donbass are afraid of an attack by the Armed Forces and are preparing themselves for offensive operations… At the same time, it is possible that the Russian Federation will go on the offensive not from the east, but from the north or south.
As reported OBOZREVATEL, former Deputy Minister for Temporarily Occupied Territories and Internally Displaced Persons of Ukraine Yuriy Grymchak said that Russia raises the stakes in Donbass and is ready for the open introduction of its troops to the territory of Ukraine. Another escalation may occur in the near future.
