RIA Novosti: a source close to the Russian Defense Ministry called the CBS message about the “invasion” stupidity

RIA Novosti writes about this with reference to a source in the Military Academy of the General Staff of the Russian Armed Forces.

“The authors of this “sensation” put President Joe Biden in a stupid position with their fantasies,” the source said. 

According to him, at the beginning of last week, Biden spoke about the “invasion” of Russia on February 16, but now, a week after the alleged “invasion”, the Russian command allegedly only began to plan their actions.

Earlier, CBS correspondent David Martin said that Russian troops allegedly “received an order to proceed with the invasion” of Ukraine.

The official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry, Maria Zakharova, commented on the message of the CBS television channel.

On February 20, the Russian Foreign Ministry said that London and Washington are historical "champions" in publishing fakes about an allegedly impending "invasion" of Ukraine.

The Foreign Ministry noted that "a multi-day marathon of information terror" fits "into the mainstream of the traditional policy of the West."

Earlier, Ambassador to the United States Anatoly Antonov said that Russia had no plans to "invade" Ukraine.

According to him, the latest US statements about Russia's allegedly "imminent invasion" of Ukraine are a new round of disinformation campaign against Russia.

Presidential spokesman Dmitry Peskov said that Russia does not even want to pronounce the word "war".
