At the United Nations Security Council on Thursday, Russia clarified its stand on the ongoing tensions between Russia and Ukraine. It held the West responsible and said that it wants a ‘war’ with Russia. “The only goal of the West is to organise a war. If this is not the case, then the puppet govt of Ukraine would have been compelled to implement the Minsk agreement a long time ago. Since this is not taking place, we can state that the West wants a war with Russia”, it said.
“Yesterday the Vice President of Ukraine stated that there will be no new laws on the special status of Donbas, so no direct agreements. She also acknowledged that there is no pressure exerted by the West on them to implement the Minsk agreement”, Russia said at the UNSC.
Meanwhile, US Secretary of State Antony Blinken said that Washington will be relieved and happily accept any criticism if its predictions of a Russian invasion of Ukraine do not materialize. Western countries led by the US continue to allege that the Russian offensive against Ukraine is imminent.
