Moscow-Sana
Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova announced that Russia expects new, possibly military provocations, from the United States and the Ukrainian authorities.
"We expect provocations from Washington and the Kiev regime, which may be provocations by spreading misinformation, and we also do not rule out military provocations, especially as they have precedents and previous experience of this kind," TASS news agency quoted Zakharova as saying on the Telegram app.
In this regard, she referred to allegations made by the US Bloomberg website, quoting what it described as an official in Beijing claiming that Chinese President Xi Jinping called on his Russian counterpart, Vladimir Putin, not to invade Ukraine during the Olympic Games hosted by his country between the fourth and 20th of next month.
"It is no longer just the release of false information, it has actually turned into a special operation to spread disinformation by Washington's own agencies using Bloomberg," Zakharova said.
"This official in Beijing must, of course, be an American," Zakharova added.
Zakharova stated that Georgia's attack on South Ossetia with the support of the United States took place during preparations for the Summer Olympics in Beijing in August 2008.
In turn, the Chinese embassy in Russia denied in a statement today Bloomberg's allegations, describing them as "incorrect and provocative," adding that Beijing's position on the Ukrainian issue is consistent and clear, and it calls for resolving differences through dialogue and consultations within the framework of the Minsk agreements.
