Ukrainian news portal Pravda reported that relations between the West and Russia have recently become very tense. Russian President Vladimir Putin has demanded legally guaranteed guarantees preventing further NATO expansion in the east and the spread of arms in Ukraine, which he said threaten Russia’s security. NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg and leaders of several NATO member states rejected Moscow’s request. On the other hand, Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko was fully supportive of Putin on this issue.
Alexei Danilov, Secretary of Ukraine’s National Security and Defense Council (RNBO), said at a press conference last week that Russia is currently deploying 122,000 soldiers in the immediate vicinity of the Ukrainian border. (MTI)
