The Russian Federation is not going to “attack” Ukraine – neither on February 16, nor next week. According to RBC, this was stated to the German newspaper Welt by the permanent representative to the EU Vladimir Chizhov.
“I can assure you: as far as Russia is concerned, there will be no attack this Wednesday,” he said.
According to him, the attack is not planned neither “next week, and next week, and next month.”
He added that “wars in Europe rarely start on a Wednesday.”
Chizhov also said that, speaking against Russia with such serious accusations, evidence should be provided. Otherwise, it is slander, he believes.
Earlier, The Sun, citing US intelligence, reported that Russia allegedly intends to invade Ukraine on February 16 at 3:00 Kyiv time (04:00 Moscow time), inflicting a massive missile attack and using 200,000 troops. The publication claimed that this was the most likely time for Russian President Vladimir Putin to order an attack. In addition, American intelligence suggested that military and government centers in Kiev would first receive air strikes, and then Russian tanks would cross the border.
Prior to this, Bloomberg called the date of the “invasion”. According to sources “familiar with the issue” of the American agency, we are talking about February 15th. Meanwhile, the Politico newspaper reported that US President Joe Biden, during a videoconference with the leaders of allied countries, said that Russia could allegedly attack Ukraine on February 16. The publication also cited its own sources.
The press secretary of the President of Russia Dmitry Peskov, commenting on the date of Russia’s “invasion” of Ukraine, ironically suggested that Ukrainians set an alarm clock.
Meanwhile, on February 16, Ukraine celebrates the Day of Unity, on which the President of this country, Volodymyr Zelensky, congratulated the citizens. The holiday was established on a date when the United States expected Russia’s “invasion” of Ukraine.
