The State Department demanded from Russia to remove troops from the border with Ukraine

The US State Department has once again called on the Russian authorities to withdraw the troops, which are concentrated along the border with Ukraine.

“We continue to call on the Russian government (…) to withdraw the forces that it has accumulated along the borders of Ukraine and put an end to its aggressive and threatening rhetoric,” RBC quotes the State Department’s statement on the ceasefire in Donbass.

Meanwhile, on the eve of Bloomberg, citing data from satellite images of Janes, he argued that Russia continues to build up a grouping of troops on the border with Ukraine and pull military equipment into the region.

According to the agency, tanks, artillery weapons and air defense systems have been moved to the border areas since November. Bloomberg does not rule out that, if necessary, Russia will “quickly strengthen these forces” by sending large formations on trains and planes.

Recall that in November-December of the outgoing year, the world media filled the topic of the alleged Russian invasion of Ukraine and the sanctions that should follow. According to the authors and experts of these publications, a sign of an “invasion” is the concentration of Russian military equipment in the regions bordering on Ukraine. Possible sanctions include both the shutdown of the Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline, and restrictions against Russian energy companies, and the shutdown of the SWIFT system of fast financial settlements.
