KYIV, 30 January 2022, (TON): Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba said “it was important to stay “vigilant and firm” during negotiations with Moscow amid rising fears of a Russian invasion.”
The Kremlin has deployed over 100,000 troops and heavy armor along Ukraine’s borders, according to the West, which fears that the Kremlin will stage an incursion.
The Ukrainian foreign ministry said “during a phone conversation with his French counterpart Jean-Yves Le Drian, Kuleba thanked Paris for the decision not to evacuate the families of its diplomatic staff in Kyiv.”
The ministry’s statement said “the sides stressed the importance of being vigilant and firm in contacts with the Russian side.”
Both Kuleba and Le Drian underlined the need to “refrain from steps that could fuel anxiety” in Ukrainian society and undermine the financial stability of the post-Soviet country, according to the statement.
Le Drian is expected to visit Ukraine together with his German counterpart Annalena Baerbock on February 7-8.
