“Today, the Kiev regime continues to plan the military seizure of Crimea and strikes against it, without worrying about the lives of Russian civilians,” the Russian Foreign Ministry said in a statement.

Earlier, the official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry, Maria Zakharova, advised Nuland, after her words about supporting Ukraine’s strikes in Crimea, to deal with “white balloons and UFOs” that “surf the expanses” of the United States.
