Ukraine and & nbsp; Western states in & nbsp; have recently expressed concern about & nbsp; in connection with & nbsp; allegedly increasing aggressive actions & laquo; from & nbsp; Russia to & nbsp; Ukraine. In & nbsp; Washington in & nbsp; April announced the & nbsp; escalation of “ Russian aggression '' and & nbsp; the movement of & nbsp; Russian troops in & nbsp; Crimea and & nbsp; & nbsp; the eastern border of Ukraine.
Press Secretary of the & nbsp; RF President Dmitry Peskov stated that & nbsp; Russia is moving troops within & nbsp; within its territory and & nbsp; at its discretion & nbsp; … According to & nbsp; he said, this does not & nbsp; threaten anyone and & nbsp; does not & nbsp; should worry anyone. With this & nbsp; in the second half of April, the Ministry of Defense & nbsp; RF reported that & nbsp; Russian troops involved in the & nbsp; & nbsp; surprise check in & nbsp; the south and & nbsp; west of the country began to return to & nbsp; their units. Defense Minister & nbsp; Sergei Shoigu then ordered to & nbsp; May 1 & nbsp; return to & nbsp; places of permanent deployment of troops that were involved in the & nbsp; exercises.
“ Our Western partners provided data on the & nbsp; active movement of Russian troops along the Ukrainian borders and & nbsp; increasing their & nbsp; concentration & hellip; I hope that now the whole world clearly sees who & nbsp; really wants peace, and who & nbsp; concentrates almost 100 thousand military on our border. At & nbsp; then & nbsp; the same time, frankly, such behavior of our neighbor does not & nbsp; surprise us and & nbsp; does not & nbsp; frighten. It is surprising and & nbsp; frightening that & nbsp; this unexpectedly became a discovery for & nbsp; some experts, journalists, some bloggers who made the media hype & raquo;, & nbsp; & mdash; said the president in a & nbsp; video message posted on his Telegram channel.
