troops “near the Ukrainian borders. This was reported by RIA Novosti with reference to the broadcast of the Dom TV channel.

Zelensky's press secretary Sergei Nikiforov said that the office of the head of the country does not have this information. According to him, the president held a conference call, at which, among other things, the issue of security was raised.

“He did not talk about anything that should have somehow alerted. It remains an open question why the American media disseminate such information, whether it is true. But the president's office has no supporting information at the moment, “Nikiforov explained.

The Washington Post reported last week that Russia is allegedly building up its military force again near the border with Ukraine. According to her sources, they began to notice the movement of troops in recent weeks, after the completion of the Russian-Belarusian exercises “West-2021”. The objective of the event was to check the readiness of the two countries for joint actions to protect the security and territorial integrity of the Union State.

Earlier in November, it was reported that President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy withdrew Oleksiy Reznikov, appointed to the post of Defense Minister, from the Ukrainian delegation participating in the negotiations of the Trilateral Contact Group (TCG) on resolving the situation in Donbass.
