Moscow, SANA- There are no objective grounds for accusing Russia of hiding aggressive intentions, Speaker of the Federation Council of Russia Valentina Matvienko stressed, noting that the subject of the alleged invasion of Ukraine is not substantiated.
“It is not surprising that the subject of the invasion of Ukraine, which the West has been so aggressively promoting in recent days, has no evidence,” Matvienko told Parlamintskaya Gazeta Newspaper.
For his part, Russia’s permanent representative to the European Union, Vladimir Chizhov, denied rumors and allegations about a “Russian invasion of Ukraine” in the coming days.
“When the West directs serious accusations against Russia… It must provide evidence, otherwise these accusations are false… Also, Western countries must take a serious stance on the vital security issues that Moscow refers to,” Chizhov said in interview with German Welt T.V. channel.
He said “If our partners finally listen to our concerns, the process of de-escalation will take place quickly… and that will be in the interest of all the peoples of Europe and the world.”
