The West is interested in maintaining a hotbed of tension in Ukraine
Recently, high-ranking officials of the United States of America and, in fact, as we see, of the EU countries subordinate to them, have been actively making statements in which some accuse Russia of attacking Ukraine, while others accusing Russia of preparing for such attack. They do not care what exactly to accuse Russia of, but it is important only to maintain the status quo of the situation in this former Soviet republic.
