He explained that when he talks about informative actions he refers to the “informative hysteria that everyone is witness to”.
According to Peskov, this hysteria “is lavishly embellished with an enormous amount of false information, just lies, that is published”.
“I want to remind you that a few days ago it was revealed that Russia is evacuating (from Ukraine) its diplomats, a new spiral of hysteria,” he said.
“Finally, everything came down to the recommendations of the Department of State” of the US this Sunday to reduce its personnel, as he pointed out.
The spokesman for the Presidency was referring to the recommendations to US citizens to leave Ukraine and the authorization to evacuate family members of US diplomats stationed in Ukraine.
“We see the declarations that NATO publishes about the increase in its contingent and the dispatch of forces and weapons to the eastern flank. This is what increases the tension“, has underlined.
