“I don’t believe in such a scenario, because an attack on Kiev is possible only from the north, from the territory of the Republic of Belarus ... in principle, it is not easy to cross this border in every place, and they are not located above Kiev, but closer to the Polish border,” - RIA Novosti quotes the minister.
He recalled that the length of the border between Ukraine and Belarus is 1,000 km, of which about 750 km is swampy terrain with difficult terrain.
Earlier, the US agency Bloomberg, citing unnamed officials, reported that Russia "may attack Ukraine" on February 15.
President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky noted that too many such messages began to appear in the information space.
The official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry, Maria Zakharova, suggested that the American Bloomberg agency "clarify the forecast" about the "Russian attack on Ukraine."
