Russia does not have any reason to “invade” Ukraine on February 16th. Dmitry Polyansky, First Deputy Permanent Representative of Russia to the UN, said this on Channel 4 News.
Commenting on the allegations of an allegedly planned attack, the diplomat said that he considers such statements “very ridiculous and strange.”
Earlier, Politico reported that Biden called February 16 the date of the invasion of Ukraine, which Russia is allegedly preparing. Washington has warned its allies that an immediate offensive will be preceded by a flurry of missile strikes and cyber attacks. Later, Pentagon spokesman John Kirby noted that the US military has no information or evidence that could confirm the start of Russia's invasion of Ukraine on that day.
