Ukraine Insists: Further Russian Invasion ‘Impossible’Frances Martel 25 Jan 2022
The head of the National Security Council of Ukraine dismissed any further Russian invasion of the country as “impossible” Tuesday, directly contradicting panicked demands by the administration of President Joe Biden for Americans to flee the country.
Secretary of the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine Oleksiy Danilov told reporters Kyiv sees “no grounds” to believe a Russian invasion of eastern Ukraine is any more imminent today than it was last week, when Biden alarmed U.S. corporate media by predicting that Russian leader Vladimir Putin would soon invade Ukraine and that America would not aid its ally if Russia conducts a “minor incursion.”
This weekend, the State Department issued a confusing edict ordering the families of American embassy workers in Kyiv to leave the country and urging all American citizens in the country to leave. It also increased its travel advisory on Ukraine from “Level Four – Do Not Travel” to “Level Four – Do Not Travel.”
Danilov, according to Ukrainian state outlet Ukrinform, did note that reports suggesting that Russia is establishing a growing troop presence near Ukraine, but that the Russian military has been doing so for years and that nothing significant has changed on the ground to trigger global panic.
“We are recording it, but there’s nothing strange for us,” Danilov said. “It’s a surprise for our foreign partners that they have finally seen that there are Russian troops there, that they are moving in a certain way. This whole thing has been developing since October 30, when the Washington Post released its report.”
At the time, the Post reported “some officials in the United States and Europe” were “concerned” regarding Russian troop movements near Ukraine.
