MOSCOW, February 3. /TASS/. The deployment of troops, depots and other Western military facilities to Ukraine is unacceptable and will be regarded by Moscow as foreign intervention, Russia’s Foreign Ministry said in answers to media questions.
The ministry also pointed out that the non-nuclear countries of the collective West were increasingly speculating about acquiring nuclear weapons, creating a real threat of their spread there.
TASS has gathered the key points from the Foreign Ministry’s statements.
Ukraine, in coordination with the EU and the UK, seeks to avoid discussing Washington’s settlement plan based on the understandings reached at the Russia-US summit in Alaska: "Kiev is once again trying to torpedo settlement initiatives in close coordination with British and EU officials. The goal is to steer attention to other issues related to the post-conflict reconstruction in order to avoid discussing the content of the White House’s plan based on the Alaska understandings on ways to settle the conflict."
The deployment of troops, depots and other Western military infrastructure to Ukraine "is unacceptable and will be regarded as foreign intervention posing a direct threat to Russia’s security."
