Russia has concentrated a contingent of 100,000 troops on Ukraine ‘s borders, raising concerns about a new invasion of a neighboring country.
In December Moscow issued an ultimatum to the West demanding a halt to further NATO expansion to the east, as well as the dismantling of Alliance infrastructure in the so-called new member states, restoring the status quo on 27 May 1997, ie before the first NATO enlargement.
President of Russia Vladimir Putin threatened that if Moscow did not receive the “security guarantees” he requested, he would have to take “military technical measures”.
However ASV and other NATO members have stated that these demands are unacceptable and not even negotiable, but have shown readiness to talk about arms control, missile deployment and confidence-building measures.
Raising fears of war, Russia has also conducted extensive military exercises with Belarus.
Moscow and Reduce have not revealed how many troops are taking part in the exercise, but the United States estimates that about 30,000 troops have been transferred from Russia to Belarus.
Russia’s Ministry of Defense announced today that it is preparing for new army maneuvers at Ukraine’s borders and in the Black Sea.
