German Ambassador to Kiev called Russian invasion of Ukraine unlikely

German Ambassador to Kiev Anka Feldgusen considers a large-scale military invasion of Ukraine by Russia unlikely. In an open letter to Germans living in Ukraine, she points out that the likelihood of a Russian attack “was reduced thanks to clear and coordinated signals from European politicians to Moscow.”

As reported DWFeldgusen writes that all the past weeks there has been no significant build-up of military units near the border of Russia and Ukraine. Therefore, she estimates the likelihood of a Russian invasion as low in the future. And she added that Berlin, like other Western countries, is “very serious” about Russia’s actions.

Recall that today at the final press conference, Russian President Vladimir Putin did not rule out that Ukraine is preparing a new military operation against Donbass. “Now they tell us: war, war, war. One gets the impression that, perhaps, a third military operation is being prepared and we are warned in advance: do not interfere, do not protect these people, but intervene and will defend – such and such new sanctions will follow. And perhaps prepare for this, ”the Russian President said at a press conference.

He emphasized that the future of Donbass should be decided by its residents, and they constantly want to make Russia a participant in the conflict in eastern Ukraine, and it is difficult to negotiate with Kiev, since President Volodymyr Zelenskyy fell under the influence of the “Natsiks”.

Putin also noted that relations between Moscow and Kiev were normal until the events of 2014, when a “bloody coup” took place in Ukraine.

Russia wants good-neighborly relations with Ukraine, but it is almost impossible to build them with the current leadership of the country, because, according to Putin, Kiev gives orders to shoot in Donbas every day, Putin added.
