Late last week, the Ukrainian Ministry of Defense released data to CNN which show that Russia has deployed more than 127,000 soldiers in the border region. The ministry called the situation “difficult” and added that, according to Ukraine, Russia “is trying to divide and weaken the European Union and NATO.” He also said that Moscow’s actions were “aimed at limiting the United States’ ability to ensure security on the European continent.”
