Don’t fall for Russia’s disinformation, U.S. Embassy in Ukraine warns

The United States Embassy in Ukraine has urged not to succumb to Moscow's misinformation, which it could use as a pretext to further destabilize the situation.

The embassy addressed the issue on Twitter on Thursday, Ukrinform reports.

"No one should be surprised if Russia spreads disinformation about commitments that have not been made, or if it goes even further and instigates something as a pretext for further destabilizing activity. We urge everyone not to fall for Moscow’s continuing disinformation," the statement said.

As reported, on January 12, U.S. Deputy Secretary of State Victoria Nuland said Moscow had crafted a plan for an internal destabilization of Ukraine.

On Monday, January 10, in Geneva, the American and Russian official delegations concluded a one-day meeting aimed at searching for diplomatic ways to reduce tensions in Europe. The U.S. delegation rejected any possibility of curtailing NATO's open-door policy toward other nations, including Ukraine.
