Expulsion of U.S. Diplomat in Moscow an 'Escalatory' Move: White House
Показать описание
The White House says the expulsion of the No. 2 diplomat at the U.S. Embassy in Moscow by Russia "was unprovoked" and is an "escalatory step" as tensions between the two nations flared anew in the worst East-West standoff in decades.
The State Department announced Thursday that Russia ordered the deputy chief of mission to the U.S. Embassy in Moscow, Bart Gorman, to leave the country. Russia provided no details of why he was expelled.
Speaking to reporters aboard Air Force One as President Joe Biden traveled to Ohio for remarks on domestic spending, White House deputy press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said, "Now, now more than ever, it is critical that our countries have the necessary diplomatic personnel in place to facilitate communication between our governments."
Jean-Pierre warned anew that "the evidence on the ground is that Russia is moving toward an imminent invasion."
She said Moscow is engaging in "Potemkin diplomacy, where they publicly offer to talk and make claims about de-escalation while privately mobilizing for war."
Jean-Pierre said the concern among the U.S. and its allies is that Russia is trying to stage a pretext for an armed attack against Ukraine, which she said "could take a number of different forms."
She said there has already been an increase in false claims by the Russians over the past few days, including reports "of an unmarked grave of civilians of civilians allegedly killed by the Ukrainian armed forces, statements that Ukraine is committing genocide in the eastern Ukraine, that the US and the Ukraine are developing biological or chemical weapons," among others.
Jean-Pierre said "each of these allegations is categorically false," and warned the world to expect more false claims from Russia in the coming days.
