“Russia is not afraid of anything, it is not afraid of anyone. Including Mrs. von der Leyen and Mr. [президента США Джо] Biden.

It reminds me of the vocabulary of Saddam Hussein “(ex-president of Iraq. – ed.),” Chizhov said.
Commenting on the situation with the Ukrainian crisis, he noted that Russia does not want war, “the Russian military machine is not turned on”, but it can lead to a Ukrainian conflict in Donbass, the responsibility for which arises from “hot heads” in Kiev. At the same time, he added that Russia does not have an acute attack with an attack in the Ukrainian crisis, because Europe, as a non-military force, is coordinating actions with the United States.
According to the permanent representative, Russia is not afraid of getting sick, because if they are introduced, its lungs prevent counter-sanctions, which victims are gas consumers in Europe.
“Mother of all” formerly requirement Russia in the event of its “invasion” in Ukraine, the head of the international committee of the US Senate, Robert Mendes. Restrictions may affect Russian President Vladimir Putin personally, threatened US President Joe Biden.
