Bloomberg reported that, according to US intelligence, Russia plans to attack Ukraine in 2022. Kiev claims that this will happen in late January or early February, for which 92,000 Russian troops are already concentrated on the border.

Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said that Moscow is not hatching any aggressive plans. “It is absolutely wrong to associate any movements of the RF Armed Forces across the territory of our country with such plans,” he said.
