Recall that the first personal meeting between Putin and Biden as presidents of Russia and the United States took place in Geneva on June 16. The talks, together with a break, lasted about three and a half hours. The leaders of the two countries discussed cybersecurity issues, and also agreed to begin consultations on strategic stability issues at the interdepartmental level. As Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov later noted, the meeting was held in a "frank and businesslike manner."

Earlier, the Associated Press and The Washington Post, citing data from anonymous officials in the US administration, as well as representatives of the intelligence community, published materials claiming that Russia allegedly intends to carry out a military invasion of Ukraine in early 2022.

At the same time, up to 175 thousand soldiers will be involved.

Now, according to American intelligence, there are about 70,000 servicemen near the Russian-Ukrainian border.

Along with this, US President Joe Biden said that Washington "has long been aware of Russia's actions."

The head of the White House also expects a "long conversation" with Vladimir Putin on Ukraine, stressing that he "does not recognize anyone's red lines" on the security issue of this state, Ino TV reports.

The movement of Russian troops across the territory of the Russian Federation is an internal affair of the state.

This was stated by the official representative of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Russia Maria Zakharova, commenting on the reports of the American media that the Russian side allegedly concentrated a significant military contingent near the border with Ukraine and is preparing for an invasion.

“The Russian armed forces on Russian territory are the legal right of a sovereign state.

Based on NATO's actions in the region, the American press should be concerned about the aggressive actions of not Russia, but the United States, ”Zakharova said.

She also pointed out that Washington is conducting "a special operation to escalate the situation around Ukraine, shifting responsibility to Russia."

“It is based on provocative actions near the Russian borders, accompanied by accusatory rhetoric against Moscow.

In principle, nothing new - classic Western tactics.

Only the scale of impudence and lies is impressive, "added the official representative of the foreign ministry.

Earlier, the Russian leader called the creation of a threat to Russia as a red line in the situation with Ukraine.

According to him, if strike systems or hypersonic weapons are deployed on Ukrainian territory, Russia will have to "create something similar in relation to those who are so threatening."

“The creation of such threats for us is the“ red line ”.

I hope it doesn't come to that.

I hope that a sense of common sense, responsibility both for their countries and for the world community will still prevail, "Putin said on November 30 during the Russia Calling! Forum.

"Nobody is going to attack Ukraine"

As Adalbi Shkhagoshev, a member of the State Duma Committee on Security and Anti-Corruption, noted, reports of an allegedly impending Russian aggression against a particular country are a win-win agenda for the US military lobby.

“It will go on forever: first at the end of the year, then at the beginning of the year, respectively, in January this will not happen - they will already call April, May and so on.

After Afghanistan was lost (where hundreds of millions of dollars were pumped in), when they left, the question just arose inside the United States: why do we need to spend so much money on defense?

Accordingly, the agenda completely spread to Ukraine, allegedly on the border of Ukraine and the Russian Federation, the tension is such that huge amounts of money are required, "he said in a conversation with RT.
