Concerns about Belarus maneuvers +++ Alleged pressure on opposition figures in Russia

With an unprecedented warning, the British government has accused the Kremlin of wanting massive political influence in Ukraine. “We have information that suggests the Russian government is attempting to establish a pro-Russian leadership in Kyiv while it considers invading and occupying Ukraine,” the government said in a statement on Saturday night British Foreign Office. However, experts believe that Moscow is unlikely to invade Kiev.

And from Moscow came a sharp reaction. The spread of this “disinformation” by the British media is once again proof that “the NATO countries, led by the Anglo-Saxons, are aggravating the situation around Ukraine,” according to the Russian Foreign Ministry. The British Foreign Office was asked to “stop provoking and spreading nonsense,” Tass agency learned from an unnamed source at the Foreign Office in Moscow.

Who lies? London? Moscow? Stanislav Derjabin and his Pinocchio, who is called Ural Papa Carlo, in a place i. Russia named Nizhny Tagil.

The British side has named former Ukrainian MP Yevgeny Murayev as a possible candidate for the leadership position in the government in Kiev. However, the candidate named by London as a potential Moscow governor has been on a Russian sanctions list since 2018. Murayev told the Sunday newspaper The Observer that the British Foreign Office seemed “confused”. “It’s not particularly logical. I am banned from Russia.” In addition, money was confiscated from his father’s company there.

The British Foreign Ministry also said that it also had information that other ex-Ukrainian politicians – named by name – were in contact with the Russian secret services, the British said. Some are said to have had contact with security officials who were “involved in planning an attack on Ukraine.” A week ago, the United States accused Russia of agents planning a special operation in eastern Ukraine.

Moscow – here in the form of Vladimir Putin – and London are not on good terms right now.

The Kremlin rejected this and demanded proof. Secretary of State Liz Truss called on Moscow to “end its campaigns of aggression and disinformation and pursue a path of diplomacy.” Any military invasion of Ukraine would be a “massive strategic mistake with serious costs,” said the minister. London stands with Ukraine as an independent, sovereign country.

Several Russian state media reported Saturday, citing sources, that Truss is expected to visit Moscow in February.
