Senior government officials in Russia and Germany will hold a face-to-face meeting next month on the situation in Ukraine. This is reported by Reuters, citing sources in the German government.
According to the newspaper, within the framework of the meeting, representatives of the two countries will attempt to reduce political tension around the conflict in Ukraine. It is noted that, according to the agency's interlocutors, in Berlin more than in Washington, they doubt Moscow's intention to take aggressive actions against Kiev.
Earlier, the press secretary of the Russian president Dmitry Peskov commented on information about a possible Russian attack on Ukraine and other countries. “Russia has never been the first to attack anyone,” Peskov said. He stressed that information about a possible Russian attack on Ukraine is an empty and groundless escalation of tension, and the Russian side does not pose a threat to anyone.
