West invented Russian threat for the sake of “heroic struggle” – Russian Foreign Ministry

The Russian Federation believes that the United States is supporting Ukraine in order to restore its image after the failure in Afghanistan, while the EU is defending its zone of influence after association with Ukraine in 2013.

The US authorities, together with the leadership of Great Britain, came up with the threat of a Russian attack on Ukraine. And this was done allegedly in order to announce a “heroic struggle”, arrange a provocation and then proclaim their “victory”. About this the representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry Maria Zakharova wrote in your Telegram channel.

The diplomat believes that by playing the Ukrainian card, Washington is trying to divert attention from its own foreign and domestic political problems – to restore the image of an invincible superpower, which has somewhat faded after the Afghan failure. By this, Zakharova means a hasty and unorganized US military withdrawal from Afghanistan.

Support for Ukraine from the European Union, according to Zakharova, is explained by the fact that the EU has been trying to defend its sphere of influence since 2013, when Brussels “desperately pushed through the association of Ukraine with the EU”, overstepping the objections of the legal supposedly legitimate government of the country.

The West, according to the Kremlin, has rendered Ukraine a disservice, because “Ukraine has not yet been admitted to the EU and, apparently, it will not be accepted soon.” “And after the current Western performance, they won’t be accepted into any decent education at all – who needs a country that “Russia is about to attack”?”

Previously Focus understood in why return of Kiev to Putin’s empire – an unrealizable dream of the Russian president.

The Kremlin’s propaganda is built on pseudo-historical myths and outright forgeries designed to justify the actions of the current Russian leadership and to assert the greatness of the Russian Federation. Putin refuses to believe in the existence of Ukraine, but modern states work a little differently. The statehood of Ukraine is a question exclusively for modern Ukrainians, and not for imaginary Russians in an imaginary past.
