The Senate of the US Congress yesterday evening approved a resolution that condemned Russia for its “aggressive” actions against Ukraine, reports The Associated Press.
“Congress is united in its support for the independence and sovereignty of Ukraine,” Senator Rob Portman, who presented the document along with colleagues, was quoted by 112ua.tv as saying.
It should be noted that the Senate resolution does not have the force of law, however, the document declares “the unwavering support of the United States for a secure, democratic and independent Ukraine” and “condemns the buildup of Russian military power” on the border with Ukraine.
Recall that starting from November-December 2021, Western countries, as well as Ukraine, have been making statements about a possible “invasion” of Russia into Ukrainian territory. Recently, US speakers have argued that an attack could happen “any day.” Moscow denies all accusations and assures that Russia poses no threat to anyone. Earlier, various Western media indicated that the sign of the “invasion” is the accumulation of Russian military equipment in the regions bordering Ukraine. At the same time, among the likely anti-Russian sanctions were both the shutdown of the Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline, as well as restrictions against Russian energy companies, and the shutdown of the SWIFT international interbank settlement system.
Recently, The Sun tabloid claimed that Russia’s “invasion” of Ukraine would take place at 3:00 Kyiv time (4:00 Moscow time) on February 16, which ultimately did not happen.
And yesterday, the Politico newspaper “set” a new date for the “attack” of Russian troops on Ukraine – February 20.
For his part, US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken said at a meeting of the UN Security Council that Russian troops are preparing to launch an invasion of Ukraine in “the coming days.”
Moreover, the British Ministry of Defense has already published on its Twitter a map of a possible Russian attack on the cities of Ukraine, including from the territory of Belarus and Crimea. In total, the military department has identified seven routes.
At the same time, UN Deputy Secretary General Rosemary DiCarlo stated that tensions around Ukraine had reached their maximum point since 2014.
