Ukraine another day of high tension on the Washington Moscow

(Finance) – The United States are still convinced that the Russia is “engaged in a false flag operation”, an operation to create the pretext to attack. Joe Biden told reporters before leaving White House for a trip to Ohio. “All indications are that they are preparing to enter Ukraineto attack Ukraine “, added the president.” My feeling is that this will happen in a few days, “Biden said, stating that he has not yet read the letter sent by Moscow in response to the US proposals.

“Russia could invent attacks terroristsstage drone attacks on civilians, an attack with weapons chemicalreveal false mass graves “, warned instead the US Secretary of State Antony Blinken at the meeting of UN Security Council on Ukraine. Moscow, he added, “could theatrically call emergency meetings” to “respond” to false flag operations and then begin the attack. “I am here today not to start a war, but to prevent it,” Blinken stressed and added that “while Russia has repeatedly mocked our warnings and alarms by calling them melodrama and nonsense, it has steadily accumulated more than 150,000 soldiers on the borders of Ukraine, as well as the capabilities to conduct massive military assaults. Compliance with the Minsk agreements, “shared with Russia”, is the basis for a peaceful solution to the crisis in Ukraine, said the secretary of state.

Meanwhile the Russia expelled the second diplomat at theembassy of the United States a fly without any justification. “We can confirm that Russia has expelled the US Deputy Head of Mission (DCM) in Russia, Bart Gorman. DCM Gorman was the second most senior official of the US Embassy in Moscow after the Ambassador and a key member of the Embassy’s leadership team, “said a spokesman for the US State Department.” The action of Russia our DCM has not been provoked and we are evaluating our response “, the spokesman added, asking Russia to” end its baseless expulsions of US diplomats and personnel and to work productively to rebuild our missions “.

Russia in the meantime has anticipated that it will be forced into a “military technical response” to the lack of response from the United States to requests for guarantees on the safety in Europe. In the ten-page message sent to the United States in the framework of this negotiation, any plan for an invasion of Ukraine is denied. ” In the absence of willingness on the part of the United States to agree guarantees solid and legally binding for our security by the United States and its allies, Russia will be forced to respond, including by implementing technical military measures “, reads the document, anticipated by the Russian newspaper Kommersant.

The document lists the key issues to which, according to Moscow, the United States has not given a constructive response: the request not to further expand NATO, the withdrawal of the “Bucharest formula”, according to which “Ukraine and Georgia will become NATO members “and the request not to create military bases on the territory of States formerly part of the USSR and not members of the Alliance, including the use of their infrastructures for the conduct of any military activity, as well as the return of NATO military capabilities and infrastructures to the status of 1997, when the constitutive act of Russia-NATO relations was signed. “These provisions are of paramount importance for the Russian Federation”, was stressed in the document.
