Ukraine Crisis: ‘West Cooked up Russian Threat to Save Face After Afghan Flop’, Russia’s Zakharova Says

Washington and London have cooked up the threat of Russia ‘invading Ukraine’ for the sake of a “heroic fight” in order to carry out a provocation and then declare victory.

This is a way to distract their public from their own domestic crises and restore the “undefeatable” image following the Afghan flop, Russian Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova wrote on her Telegram channel on Monday.
