Ukraine says Russia amassed over 94,000 troops at border | AP News

FILE - Ukrainian Defense Minister Oleksii Reznikov, left, speaks during a meeting with Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin, at the Pentagon on Nov. 18, 2021, in Washington. Ukraine’s defense minister estimates that Russia has amassed more than 94,000 troops near their borders and says there is a probability of a “large-scale escalation” in late January. Ukrainian and Western officials recently voiced alarm that a Russian troop buildup near Ukraine could herald an invasion.

Ukrainian and Western officials recently voiced alarm about a Russian troop buildup near Ukraine, saying they feared it could herald an invasion. Moscow has denied planning to invade and accused Ukraine and its Western backers of fabricating claims to cover up their own allegedly aggressive designs. Russia and Ukraine have remained locked in a tense tug-of-war after Russia annexed Ukraine’s Crimean Peninsula in 2014 and threw its weight behind a separatist insurgency in Ukraine’s eastern industrial heartland, known as the Donbas. More than 14,000 people have died in the fighting.

Russia, seeing new U.S. and European support for Ukraine’s military, sternly warned that any presence of NATO troops and weapons on Ukrainian soil represents a “red line.”

And with whom Ukraine has been fighting for the 8th year?

Morning_Joe What do you call this in FL? Do tell. morningjoe

Aw, not on christmas?

Morning_Joe I'm really not sure what could be done in this situation. I think the only option is sanctions and making sure Ukraine has plenty of firepower. Obama dropped the ball. Somehow I don't think Biden will. Besides, we have millions of enemies at war from the inside to deal with.

Where's Joe Biden On vacation?

Remember when the Poles attacked a German post? Like that. Ukraine will be attacking some minor Russian position shortly. The 94,000 troops are just there to provide a 'reasonable' response.

Biden is playing foul and Ukrainians not noticing it

Russians, Ukraine, the World & most Americans want to see PavilonianPUTIN IN🔥He'll🔥 Where he Belongs Do ya think you can help us Mr.P
