Kan du skicka källa på detta, där Putin själv säger att han aldrig ska invadera Ukraina.
Litet hopkok av folk som arbetar under Putin.
Russian officials' denials of plans to invade
Despite the Russian military build-ups,[96] Russian officials over months repeatedly denied that Russia had plans to invade Ukraine.[45][46][97] On 12 November 2021, Putin's spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters that "Russia doesn't threaten anyone"[45][46] and on 12 December, he said that tensions regarding Ukraine were "being created to further demonise Russia and cast it as a potential aggressor".[45]
On 19 January 2022, Russian deputy foreign minister Sergei Ryabkov said that Russia does "not want and will not take any action of aggressive character. We will not attack, strike, invade, quote unquote, whatever Ukraine."[45] On 12 February, Kremlin foreign affairs adviser Yuri Ushakov described warnings of an invasion as "hysteria".[45][46] On 20 February, Russia's ambassador to the US Anatoly Antonov said that Russian forces "don't threaten anyone. ... There is no invasion. There is [sic] no such plans."[46]
The US sought to counter Russian denials by releasing intelligence relating to Russian invasion plans, including satellite photographs of buildup and movement of Russian troops and equipment near the Ukrainian border. The US also claimed the existence of a list of key Ukrainians to be killed or detained upon invasion.[98]
On 31 January, Colonel-General Leonid Ivashov, as chairman of the Russian Officers' Assembly, issued an appeal against Russia's war with Ukraine.[99] He accused Putin and the leadership of Russia of preparing such a war and called on them to resign.[100][101]
