Russia calls on the Western countries to stop the "hysterics" in raising tensions around Ukraine. Such a statement was made by the press secretary of the President of Russia, Dmitry Peskov.
"The fact that the hysteria being spun by Washington really leads to hysteria in Ukraine, where people are almost collecting front bags, is obvious and a fact. This is the very reverse side, very harmful and harmful, of the campaign that is now being conducted by Washington. We consistently criticize this line and call on Washington and US allies on the European continent to abandon this line and take a constructive, calm and measured position," he said.
Peskov also recommended reading provocative information as little as possible.
The Secretary of the Council of National Security and Defense of Ukraine, Aleksey Danilov, also does not see any threat of war at the moment. According to him, before a full-scale military invasion, the Russian authorities will need serious and large-scale preparations that will be noticed by the whole world.
"For this, Russia needs a preparatory period from three days to a week. We don't see that now," Danilov said.
