“This is a direct encouragement of the military operation on the part of Kiev, which the West is already covering up now and will obviously continue to do so in the future, if only to deal with Russia in any way.

Monstrous,” Kosachev wrote on Facebook.

According to him, any statement of the parties made at this critical moment is life-changing.

Kosachev also called Biden's statement "a betrayal of Washington and its allies of millions of people, and on both sides along the line of contact, who expect politicians only to prevent war."

Earlier, Biden said that “Russian-backed forces” are trying to provoke the Ukrainian side in the Donbass.

According to the Chairman of the State Duma of Russia Vyacheslav Volodin, Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky "provokes the start of a big war."
