Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov, in an interview with Russia’s VGTRK journalist Pavel Zarubin, called statements by Western countries about the need to shoot down Russian aircraft irresponsible and dangerous. “Statements that Russian aircraft should be shot down are, to say the least, reckless, irresponsible, and certainly dangerous in their consequences,” Peskov said, reported TASS. He added that what is happening in the European environment is a “self-exciting mechanism.” “They themselves raise issues and make irresponsible statements.”
Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova warned yesterday that if the Kiev regime’s plans for false flag operations in Poland and Romania succeed, World War III will be the result. In her Telegram channel, Zakharova drew attention to reports in several Hungarian media outlets about acting President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s plans to carry out sabotage in Romania and Poland with the aim of blaming Russia.
“His office on Bankovaya Street is preparing its own version of the ‘Gleiwitz incident'—with the aim of creating a casus belli for a war between Russia and NATO,” she explained. “If all this is confirmed, then we must admit: never in modern times has Europe been so close to the outbreak of World War III.”
