Russia has warned it would quickly take “retaliatory measures” if the U.S. and allies reject its security demands and continue their “aggressive” policies. Ukraine says nearby Russian troops are a threat, but “insufficient for a large-scale offensive.”
“If the West continues its aggressive course, Moscow will take the necessary retaliatory measures,” he said.
“They are still missing some key military elements and systems to mount a big, full-scale offensive,” Kuleba told reporters.As others have, he noted that causing alarm could be an end in itself. Russia, he said, hopes to destabilize Ukraine by “spreading panic, raising pressure on Ukraine’s financial system and launching cyberattacks.”
Several rounds of high-stakes diplomacy have failed to yield any breakthroughs in the standoff, but another attempt was going forward Wednesday.
