Найдете в ютубе, кому надо, выступление Псаки, что Госдеп США не смог подтвердить наличие российских войск на Украине.
я нашел транскрипт. Устроит?
Где же там " не смог подтвердить наличие"?"
MS. PSAKI: Well, I think, Matt, I don’t have anything new to confirm for you independently from the United States. Obviously, we’ve seen an increasing level of aggression from the Russians.
That includes the movement of troops across the border, which NATO and others have certainly spoken to and confirmed over the course of the last week. That includes continued – the continued effort to provide military assistance and the financing.
QUESTION: That means movement of troops across the – movement of Russian troops across the Ukrainian border into Ukraine. Is that what you’re talking about?
MS. PSAKI: Well,
that’s been confirmed – I mean, last week.
QUESTION: Okay. So why is that not an invasion? Why do you shy away from this? I mean, the NATO commander said last week that if this was happening in a NATO member, it would invoke – Article 5 would be invoked, because it would be something that – it requires a military response. If one member is attacked, they’re all attacked. So why not call it the way you see it?
MS. PSAKI: Well, I think in our view it doesn’t matter what we call it.
We’re calling it an illegal incursion. We’re saying they’re violating the sovereignty of Ukraine. We’ve obviously increased not only the number of sanctions and the kind of sanctions we’re putting in place, but we continue to consider a range of requests that the Ukrainians have issued. So our actions, in our view, and what we’re going to do about it is more important than what we call it.
QUESTION: All right. I have two more very, very brief ones. One – well, what do you think then – since you’re convinced that the Ukrainians and NATO and everyone else is right, that there is an incursion, that the Russian troops are there – what do you make of the Russian denials that they’re not?
MS. PSAKI: I think that contradicts the facts on the ground and what we’ve all seen, not just the United States, but a range of countries, and certainly NATO as they’ve spoken to over the last week.
QUESTION: So President Putin and Foreign Minister Lavrov and Ambassador Churkin, and Russian defense ministry people,
they’re all lying when they say no, we don’t have anyone – we don’t have any troops --
MS. PSAKI: I’ll let you put labels on it, but I think
the facts are the facts.
