"In the current situation, dramatization and speculations about war are not a responsible behavior. Sanctions and pressure do not help to defuse the situation, and promotion of bloc standoff leads us to the old road of Cold War even stronger," the diplomat added.
"We urge all sides to adhere to a fair and open position, to assist dialogue and negotiations, as well as proper implementation of the Minsk Agreements for prompt resolution of he Ukrainian crisis," he concluded.
Recently, claims of Russia’s potential invasion in Ukraine have become frequent in Ukraine and Western states. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov called such reports empty and groundless escalation of tensions, underscoring that Russia does not pose any threat to anyone. Peskov noted that provocations may happen in order to justify such claims and warned that such attempts will bear the most serious consequences.
