The US needs war at any price, the Russian Foreign Ministry claimed on Friday in response to news of an alleged plan by the US to send thousands of extra troops to Poland. | |
Earlier the same day, the Pentagon disclosed that it was sending an additional 3,000 soldiers to Eastern Europe amid the Ukraine crisis. According to an official who spoke to reporters ahead of the official announcement, the personnel will join the 1,700 who are already based on Polish soil, early next week. | |
“The hysteria of the White House is more revealing than ever. The Anglo-Saxons need a war. At any price,” the Ministry's spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said. | |
She added that “provocations, disinformation and threats” serve as a preferred way for the US and its allies to solve their own problems. | She added that “provocations, disinformation and threats” serve as a preferred way for the US and its allies to solve their own problems. |
“The American military-political machine is ready to go through people’s lives again. The whole world is watching how militarism and imperial ambitions expose themselves,” Zakharova said. | |
The last few months have seen Western countries accuse Russia of an alleged plan to attack Ukraine. Despite multiple denials of these claims by Moscow, the US and its NATO allies keep building up their military presence in Eastern Europe. | |
A Pentagon official, however, claimed that the troops which will soon be on their way to Poland are being sent there only to defend NATO allies. |
