Russia’s permanent representative to the UN in Geneva, Gennady Gatilov, is against rumors of Russia’s plans to invade Ukraine. He stated that there is no motive, no geostrategic purpose, no sanity. His words RIA News.
“Perhaps Western officials and analysts are uniting in deciphering quite unambiguous Russian-made manuals. Therefore: Russia has no repetition and had no plans to invade Ukraine. There is no motive or geostrategic purpose in this. And most importantly, even a hint of common sense,” he said.
Gatilov stressed that Russia has always advocated equal, mutually beneficial and pragmatic relations with all countries, and not just with its neighbors.
“Minister Lavrov has already said very clearly: “If it depends on the Russian Federation, then there will be no war.” What other additions are needed? added the diplomat.
Earlier it became known that the President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky, in a telephone conversation with his colleague Joe Biden, called Russia’s invasion of Ukraine unlikely. He strengthened the arrest by saying that dangerous infections from the West would lead to the destabilization of Ukraine and its economy, which, in his opinion, plays into the hands of Russia.
