Ukrainian President accuses West of creating panic as he dismisses threat of imminent Russian invasion
Mr Zelensky said the threat from Russia is no greater now than it was last spring as he accused the press of whipping up a frenzy

“There are signals even from respected leaders of states, they just say that tomorrow there will be war,” he told a press conference in Kiev.
