“As you remember, rumors about the alleged “evacuation” of Russian diplomats appeared in a number of Western publications, in particular in The New York Times, almost a month ago during the Orthodox Christmas holidays, when several children of Russian diplomats in Ukraine went to visit their grandparents .
As we now understand, the purpose of these stuffing was to create an information cover for the start of the evacuation by the United States, Great Britain, Australia, Canada and other countries of diplomats and their families from their embassies in Ukraine, ”Zakharova said, her words are quoted on the website of the Russian Foreign Ministry.
She suggested that Western politicians are aware of “certain military actions being prepared in Ukraine that can significantly complicate the security situation.”
Earlier, the authorities of the United States, Great Britain, Australia, Japan, South Korea, Estonia, Latvia, Belgium, as well as the governments of the Netherlands, Norway and Montenegro recommended their citizens to leave the territory of Ukraine.
As reported by the Associated Press, the United States intends to announce on February 12 the beginning of the evacuation of employees of the American embassy in Kiev.
