The US authorities perceive the military exercises of Russia and Belarus as actions that contribute to the escalation of the conflict around Ukraine. This was reported by TASS with reference to a briefing by White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki.

The fact that Russia is not taking steps to reduce tensions worries the US administration, Pasca said, but she is not personally prepared to predict what that means in terms of an “invasion.”

The Allied Resolve-2022 exercises will be held from February 10 to 20 in Belarus. The CSTO said that these maneuvers are an internal affair of the Union State.

Recall that recently in Western countries, as well as in Ukraine, there have been statements about a possible “invasion” of Russia into Ukrainian territory. Western media reported that US intelligence allegedly had evidence that Moscow was planning to film a video showing a fabricated attack on its troops and use the video as a pretext to invade Ukraine. Moscow has denied such accusations and maintained that Russia poses no threat to anyone.
