US State Department spokesman Ned Price said during a briefingthat Russia continues to pull its troops to the border with Ukraine.
He said that Washington’s concerns about the alleged “invasion” of Russia in Ukraine have not diminished, because “signs of de-escalation” from Russia are not pleasant in the United States. He also added that the US is aware that “Russian officials have been spreading stories in the press that could serve as a pretext for an invasion.”
Meanwhile, the US is “doing its best to find a global solution to the crisis,” Price argued.
Formerly Commander of the Army Europe, Lieutenant General Ben Hodges declaredthat Russia is carrying out a small-scale, but a “limited attack” on the border of Ukraine. According to him, this is “the Constitution in the next few months.”
Meanwhile, the official representative of the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Maria Zavakhar, between comments on foreign press reports about the dates of the “attack” on Ukraine, appointed on the failure of Western propaganda in the world war.
