The US State Department has denied the exact dates of Russia's “invasion” of Ukraine. According to the official representative of the department, Ned Price, the United States has never called the timing of the escalation of the situation, RIA Novosti reports.
“I don't think you heard us from some podium pointing out the exact day of the invasion. For some time, you hear how we are trying to convey that Russia has created opportunities for an attack at any time, ”the diplomat emphasized.
He added that the failed “invasion” does not mean that the United States had wrong intelligence.
Earlier it became known that the Russian invasion of Ukraine expected by Western media on the night of February 16 did not happen. The Russian troops continued to retreat to their places of permanent deployment, the command announced the completion of joint exercises with the Belarusian armed forces.
Following this, The Sun edited an article about the Russian invasion, stating that the night passed without incident. The Mirror also acknowledged the absence of an invasion.
As reported by Politico newspaper, US President Joe Biden called February 16 the day of the alleged offensive. The British editions of The Mirror and The Sun spoke not only about the day, but also the time of the attack of the Russian troops – 04:00 Moscow time (03:00 Kiev time).
