WASHINGTON, 24 December 2021, (TON): The United States accused Russia of continuing to escalate its troop buildup on the border with Ukraine, and renewed its warnings against any “aggression” by Moscow.
A US State Department spokesperson told media “Russia continues escalating and has not reversed its troop buildup.”
The spokesperson said “Washington and its allies were closely monitoring the situation, repeating warnings that any further aggression against Ukraine would have massive consequences and would carry a severe price.”
The statement came as Germany also reported “further troop movements on the border” between Russia and Ukraine.
But White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki emphasized “an open line of diplomatic discussion and engagement that is happening and that we expect to continue, that we hope to continue.”
The West accuses Moscow of having massed tens of thousands of soldiers at the border to prepare a possible invasion of Ukraine.
