Moscow, 28.04. (Prensa Latina) Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zajárova assured that her country would act decisively in the face of renewed attempts by the West to induce Ukraine’s armed forces to attack Russian military installations.
“Western countries are openly calling on Ukraine to attack Russian territory with weapons they supply to Kyiv, including those provided by NATO countries,” the official condemned at a news conference.
In this sense, he called on those responsible for the provocations to take seriously the statements of the Russian Ministry of Defense that another provocation by Ukraine to launch attacks on facilities of the Eurasian nation will undoubtedly lead to a harsh reaction from Moscow.
According to Zakharova, Kyiv took the West’s instructions as a guide to action while denouncing how Ukrainian troops have been bombing Russian regions bordering the country in recent weeks, causing casualties and destruction.
“This is further evidence that the regime of Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelenskyy is not independent in its decisions and relies entirely on external curators,” the spokeswoman said.
Russia began a military operation in Ukraine on February 24 after authorities in the self-proclaimed Donetsk and Lugansk People’s Republics requested help to repel rising aggression and intense bombing in Kiev.

In his informational speech on the start of the operation, Russian President Vladimir Putin stated that the goal is to protect the people of Donbass from the abuses and genocide in Kyiv over the past eight years, in addition to “demilitarization” and ” Denazification”. Ukraine.
