WASHINGTON: Ukrainian Defence Minister Oleksii Reznikov called for global unity to prevent a new Russian"escalation" against Ukraine during a visit to the Pentagon on Thursday, as Kiev and Washington warn of what they say is unusual Russian military activity.
"This possible escalation will certainly have catastrophic consequences for the whole of Europe," Reznikov said, according to a Pentagon transcript of a portion of his remarks. "And we made clear our concerns about Russia's destabilising activities and our desire for more transparency," Austin told him, according to the Pentagon transcript.
The Kremlin said in September that NATO would overstep a Russian red line if it expanded its military infrastructure in Ukraine, and Moscow has since accused Ukraine and NATO of destabilising behaviour, including in the Black Sea.
