Moscow criticizes Washington’s remarks on possible sending troops to Eastern Europe

MOSCOW, Dec. 15 (YPA) – The Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov said on Wednesday that White House statements about the possibility of sending military forces to Eastern Europe would “fuel” feelings of hatred against Russia and provoke feelings of revenge in Kyiv.

Ryabkov stressed that the White House spokesperson’s statements “are aimed primarily at raising the rageful feelings in Kyiv, and “inflaming” the anti-Russian hate speech, as well as supporting the approach of the self-proclaimed countries on the front line.”

These Russian statements come in response to the White House’s announcement that it is “studying” sending troops to Eastern Europe in if the situation around Ukraine is escalated.
