Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov had a telephone conversation today with his US counterpart Anthony Blinken.
Sergei Lavrov accused the US of want to provoke a conflict in Ukraine with its accusations of a possible imminent Russian intervention.

He further "underlined that the propaganda campaign launched by the US and its allies about a 'Russian attack' on Ukraine is aimed at provocation, encouraging the authorities in Kiev" to resort to a "military solution to the Donbass problem", the region of eastern Ukraine, on the border with Russia, where Ukrainian forces have been fighting pro-Russian separatists backed by Moscow for eight years, the statement said.
At the same time, U.S. diplomatic chief Anthony Blinken assured that the diplomatic path remains "open" to avoid a conflict in Ukraine, but a "de-escalation" by Moscow would be necessary during a phone call today with his Russian counterpart, according to the State Department.
An invasion of Ukraine, which Russia is accused of preparing, "would lead to a decisive, massive and unified transatlantic response," U.S. State Department spokesman Ned Price added.
