KYIV, Nov 22 (Reuters) – Ukraine’s Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba accused Russia on Monday of spreading disinformation, including that the Kyiv government was planning a military offensive in the eastern Donbass region.
The Kremlin earlier on Monday had expressed alarm about what it said was a U.S.-backed push to supply Ukraine with sophisticated weaponry, and accused Kyiv of having “aggressive dreams” in solving the Donbass conflict.
“We see a surge in Russian disinfo, including false accusations of Ukraine plotting a military attack in the Donbas,” Kuleba said in an English language tweet. “Let me state it officially: Ukraine does not plan a military offensive in the Donbas.” (Reporting by Pavel Polityuk and Matthias Williams Editing by Gareth Jones Editing by Gareth Jones)
