If doubts about the constant statements from the United States about the “imminent invasion of Russia into Ukraine” are expressed directly by the authorities of Ukraine, then this says something... Even the President of Ukraine Zelensky allowed himself a rather sharp attack on overseas partners, saying that the constant mention of about the "imminent offensive of the Russian troops" with the presented and constantly changing dates, looks very strange. According to Zelensky, if American intelligence has such data, then it would be worth sharing it with Ukrainian intelligence. At the same time, Zelensky added that the Ukrainian intelligence itself, which, according to him, “is definitely no worse,” does not have such data.
Against this background, the American television channel CNN came out with a report that actually admits the fakeness of statements about Russia's preparations for an attack on Ukraine. At the same time, CNN reporters, referring to the same American intelligence, say that she has "such a strategic information operation to contain Russia." That is, a “strategic operation” is, as the 45th President of the United States liked to say, “fake news”, and in its purest form.
The Russian threat was inflated to such an extent that they frightened themselves with it. The fake preparation of the Russian army for an attack on Ukraine began to be exaggerated against the background of the alleged need to immediately leave Ukrainian territory for all foreign citizens. Even the Ukrainian authorities are at a loss as to what kind of manipulations from “strategic partners” are.
