US paints frightening image on Ukraine situation using false info: SVR

The US State Department is spreading false information about Russia's alleged troop buildup for a military invasion of Ukraine, the Russian Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR) said Monday.

"Recently, Washington officials have been actively intimidating the global community with Russia's alleged preparation for 'aggression' against Ukraine," the SVR said.

The apparatus also said incoming data shows that the United States has been bringing to its allies and partners "absolutely false information" regarding the concentration of forces on the territory of Russia for "a military invasion of Ukraine," the service added.

"These accusations are completely false," it asserted.

Kremlin: allegations of a possible Russian invasion of Ukraine are false

On Sunday, Kremlin Spokesperson Dmitry Peskov slammed the United States for driving "hysteria" over a possible Russian invasion, after Western countries accused Moscow of amassing troops near the ex-Soviet country.

Peskov said on state television: "This hysteria is being whipped up artificially," adding that "those who have brought their armed forces from overseas are accusing us of unusual military activity on our own territory, that is, the United States."

The US delivers two naval vessels to Ukraine

The accusations of preparing an "invasion" were deemed as "absurd" by Kremlin; its fears that the west will use such pretext to pump weapons into the Ukrainian military did materialize as the US delivered two patrol boats to the Ukrainian navy.

Today, The Ukrainian navy said on Tuesday that two reconditioned former US Coast Guard patrol boats have arrived in the Ukrainian Black Sea port of Odesa to boost the Ukrainian navy.
