US sets backdrop for arms shipments to Kiev – Russian security council – world

MOSCOW, November 30. / TASS /. United States Creates Information Backdrop for Ukraine’s Increase in Arms Supply by Stoking Tensions Over “Russian Threat,” Russian Security Council Secretary Nikolai Patrushev Says , in the government daily Rossiyskaya Gazeta in an interview.

“By fueling tensions over an alleged Russian threat, the United States and its allies are creating a favorable information environment for the formation of their military group, their reconnaissance activities and the provision of advanced weapons, ammunition and other material to the Ukrainian army and nationalist forces. said Patrouchev.

He stressed that Moscow had informed Washington of this situation and of the absence of any plans for aggression vis-à-vis Ukraine on the part of Russia.

“Although the US side has been urged to stop spreading disinformation in the mass media and in contacts with European partners, no change has followed. The purpose for which all this disinformation is disseminated remains uncertain for the moment, but it may be necessary to have provided the case for introducing more sanctions against Russia, ”Patrushev said.

“With regard to the growing military activity of the United States and its allies in the region, we are closely following the actions of NATO and Ukrainian forces near our borders,” Patrushev said.
