As the U.S. waits in suspense on what will occur between Ukraine-Russia, Alex Zaytsev speaks out.
Moscow considers the idea of war between Russia and Ukraine “unacceptable,” Alexey Zaytsev, deputy spokesperson for the Russian Foreign Ministry, told journalists during a briefing on Thursday.
“We have repeatedly stated that our country is not going to attack anyone,“ Zaytsev said. “We consider unacceptable even the idea of a war between our peoples. However, the overseas superiors of Ukraine think differently. It seems they intend to currently adhere to the scenario they invented.”
Zaytsev went on to say dialogue with Ukraine in Paris on Wednesday “was not easy” and ended without result. He added he hoped for a different outcome when the four countries Russia, Ukraine, Germany and France meet again in Berlin in two weeks.
In the meantime, he called on NATO to cease its interference in Ukraine.
“We hope that the NATO countries will stop and refrain from interfering in the internal affairs of this country, which should allow the contracting Ukrainian parties to resolve their differences in their dialogue with each other,” he said.
So if Zaytsev is speaking the truth, why is Biden painting a whole other picture to us?
Biden continues telling us that we need to possibly deploy troops, evacuate our people out of Ukraine immediately, and then sends ammunition to Ukraine. All this seems asinine and leaves us questioning what is the real truth.
Meanwhile, China’s Foreign Minister Wang Yi discussed the situation in Ukraine with US Secretary of State Antony Blinken during a phone call Thursday.
During the call, Blinken “underscored the global security and economic risks posed by further Russian aggression against Ukraine and conveyed that de-escalation and diplomacy are the responsible way forward,” according to State Department Spokesperson Ned Price.
Wang said that “the security of a country cannot be at the expense of harming other countries’ security, and regional security cannot be guaranteed by strengthening or even expanding military blocs,” adding that “Russia’s reasonable security concerns should be taken seriously and resolved,” according to a statement issued by China’s Foreign Ministry.
“We call on all parties to keep calm, stop doing things which stimulate tension and hype up the crisis,” Wang said, according to the statement.
He added that parties should “abandon the Cold War mentality” and return to the 2015 Minsk II agreement, which sought to end fighting in the Donbas region of Ukraine.
The two also discussed the upcoming Winter Olympics and Taiwan.
