United States On Russia-Ukraine Tension
Responding to Putin's announcement, Ukrainian President resident Volodymyr Zelensky said the country wanted peace, but declared that "we are not afraid" and "will not give anything away to anyone".
The escalation of tension along the border of Ukraine with the Russian Federation is a matter of deep concern, said Ambassador T S Tirumurti.
UN Secretary-General Guterres is greatly concerned by the decision by the Russian Federation related to the status of certain areas of Donetsk and Luhansk regions of Ukraine, a statement issued by the spokesperson of the UN chief said.
The crisis of European security occurred due to the eastward expansion of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), which has led to the loss of mutual trust with Russia, Putin stressed.
President Biden said on Friday that based on the latest American intelligence, he was "convinced" that Putin has decided to invade Ukraine in coming days.
Around 200 military vehicles were spotted in the area, as 'Z' markings were 'applied hastily', with the channel suggesting 'we are dealing with a certain group of troops that has its own tasks and plans for the near future'.
It's unclear where the shelling originated. The authorities in the breakaway republics persistently claim shelling by Ukrainian forces, who in turn regularly deny firing artillery across the front lines.
The Embassy has been providing emergency kits and information about bomb shelters for the remaining citizens in case of contingency, it noted.
The Foreign Secretary's comments came as UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson warned that a Russian invasion of Ukraine could cause "the destruction of a democratic state" and "the shock will echo around the world", the Daily Mail reported.
