Moscow, November 22
The Kremlin on Monday strongly rejected the US claims of a Russian troop build-up near Ukraine, saying it could be a ruse intended to cover up what it described as Ukrainian leadership’s aggressive intentions.
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov dismissed US media allegations of Moscow’s purported plans to invade Ukraine as part of efforts to discredit Russia. He insisted that troop movements on Russia’s own territory shouldn’t concern anyone. Ukraine complained earlier this month that Russia has kept tens of thousands of troops not far from the two countries’ borders after conducting war games in an attempt to further pressure its former Soviet neighbour. — AP
