Russia: West’s statements about invasion of Ukraine “madness and panic”
Dmitriy Polyansky, the first deputy permanent representative of Russia to the United Nations, announced on Sunday that the thinking of Western countries about the number of days in which Ukraine can be defeated is madness and panic.
Commenting on the reports in this regard published by the Western media, yesterday, Saturday, Polyansky wrote on his Twitter page: “The madness and panic are still going on..
What will happen if we say that the United States can defeat London in one week and that will lead to the death of 300,000 people? That’s based on intelligence that we don’t reveal. Is that true for the Americans and the British? No. It’s not true for the Russians and the Ukrainians either,” he was quoted by Russian media as saying.
