Lieutenant General of the Reserve Bizhev: The United States has long been stirring up the situation near the western borders of Russia 
Russian Lieutenant General of the Reserve, ex-Deputy Commander-in-Chief of the VKS On the issues of the Joint Air Defense System of the CIS member states, Aytech Bizhev said that the United States has long aggravated the situation on the western borders of Russia. His words are conveyed by “Red Spring”.
“They conducted large-scale exercises with their allies in the Black Sea within the framework of the NATO bloc. According to the scenario of their exercises, Russia invaded Ukraine and tried to take the Donbass, as well as the Black Sea region. According to the scenario of these exercises, a united Europe repels the attack of Russia and takes Crimea away from us, “Bizhev noted.
According to the reserve general, the United States is pursuing a policy of playing off Russia and Ukraine, prompting the countries to make various provocations in the front-line zone. In addition, the United States is turning European countries against Russia, spreading ridiculous rumors that Russia has concentrated a large number of troops on the Russian-Ukrainian border.
Earlier, on November 19, US Senator, Head of the Foreign Affairs Committee Robert Menendez proposed to impose sanctions on Russia if it invades Ukraine. At the same time, as the media noticed, the draft amendments to the military budget are formulated in such a way that there is sufficient room for maneuver in the definition of the term “invasion” itself.
