Sunday, 28 November 2021 (YJC)_ Kremlin spokesman has stated that accusation levelled at Russia regarding possible aggression against Ukraine might serve as a smokescreen to conceal Kiev's plans to resolve the current issue.
Over the past few weeks, several western countries have expressed concern that Russia might be planning an offensive against Ukraine amid unsubstantiated media reports that Moscow is building up troops near its borders. The Kremlin rejected the allegations as a fake news campaign against Russia.
Accusations levelled at Russia regarding possible aggression against Ukraine might serve as a smokescreen to conceal Kiev's plans to resolve the issue of the self-proclaimed People's Republics in the country's east by force, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov has stated.
He stressed that Russia is an "absolutely peaceful country" interested in good relations with its neighbours and is not planning any aggression against anyone.
"The statements that Russia is going to attack someone, as well as reproaches against Russia that it is somehow behaving aggressively, are absolutely groundless and incorrect at their core".
The Kremlin spokesman went on to lash out at both the western and Ukrainian media for whipping up hysteria over Russia's alleged plans of aggression against Kiev. Peskov called their actions absolutely unacceptable.
