The press secretary of the Russian president, Dmitry Peskov, considers foreign supplies of weapons  for the Armed Forces of Ukraine, designed to repel the enemy, to be “extremely dangerous”.

He stated this during a briefing on January 18, commenting on the decision of the British Defense Ministry to send a batch of weapons to Kiev, TASS quotes propaganda .

Peskov argues that such supplies do not “help reduce tensions.”

“This is all in line with our concerns in connection with the development of the territory of Ukraine by various suppliers of weapons, which are often not only defensive, but also offensive,” Speaker Putin said.

The threat of a full-scale attack of the Russian Federation on Ukraine

After the failure in negotiations with the US and NATO on “security guarantees,” Russia refused to remove its troops from the border . Putin’s spokesman Dmitry Peskov said in Moscow that Russia was “forced” to leave its troops near Ukraine because it “cannot put up with a NATO invasion.”

In addition, the Russian Foreign Ministry began to blackmail the EU with a “difficult scenario” for Ukraine. Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov claimed that Putin was being advised to “finish” the Ukraine issue . He did not specify the details of the “scenario”, because even this could “destabilize” the situation.

The White House still does not know what Putin is up to, but hopes for a diplomatic settlement of the crisis on the Russian-Ukrainian border.

Putin began to pull Russian troops to the borders of Ukraine in the spring of 2021, the situation escalated in November 2021. Western and Ukrainian intelligence confirms the Kremlin’s offensive plans. For a new invasion, Russia can use at least 100,000 troops. This can happen as early as winter.

At the same time, the Pentagon noted that before the offensive, Russia may try to conduct a special operation in eastern Ukraine against its own occupying forces in order to have a reason to send troops.
