“ The United States is always next to & nbsp; you (Ukraine & nbsp; & mdash; ed.) and & nbsp; support you in & nbsp; your aspirations for & nbsp; independence, peace, territorial integrity and & nbsp; sovereignty, and & nbsp; also a decent, fair European future & hellip; Not & nbsp; only the US supports you with & nbsp; your aspirations & hellip; All NATO members express solidarity with & nbsp; Ukraine and & nbsp; clearly declare & nbsp; decisiveness of their support. We are & nbsp; decisive in & nbsp; our message to Moscow: if they take steps to & nbsp; destabilize Ukraine and & nbsp; use their forces for & nbsp; aggression against Ukraine, then & nbsp; there will be serious economic steps and & nbsp; sanctions, which have not yet & nbsp; been in the & nbsp; past & nbsp;, & nbsp; ; & mdash; said Nuland via & nbsp; video at the & nbsp; & quot; Kiev Security Forum & quot; to & nbsp; Wednesday.
Kiev and the Western states in from the & nbsp; side of Russia at & nbsp; the borders of Ukraine. The press secretary of the President of the & nbsp; RF Dmitry Peskov stated that & nbsp; Russia is moving troops within & nbsp; the limits of its territory and & nbsp; at & nbsp; its discretion. According to & nbsp; he said, this does not & nbsp; threaten anyone and & nbsp; nobody & nbsp; should worry. Moscow has repeatedly expressed concern about the buildup of NATO forces in & nbsp; Europe. The & nbsp; Kremlin emphasized that & nbsp; Russia is not & nbsp; for & nbsp; who does & nbsp; pose a threat, but it will & nbsp; ignore actions potentially dangerous for & nbsp; its interests.
As previously reported by the official representative of the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs Maria Zakharova , Kiev sent 125 thousand soldiers and & nbsp; officers to & nbsp; Donbass, then & nbsp; is half of the entire personnel of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov also announced the & nbsp; transfer of military equipment of NATO countries to & nbsp; Russian borders … He & nbsp; added that & nbsp; the number of Western instructors has increased in the & nbsp; Donbass. In the & nbsp; opinion of the head of Russian diplomacy, such actions of the alliance countries can provoke the Ukrainian authorities to “ break out on military adventures '', which & nbsp; creates a direct threat to the security of Russia. Peskov, in this regard, called Ukraine's actions “ very dangerous adventurism '', which is “ accompanied by encouraging unplanned NATO exercises. ''
