JUST IN: Pres. Biden to give update 'on our continued efforts to pursue deterrence and diplomacy, and Russia’s buildup of military troops on the border of Ukraine' at 4 p.m. ET, White House says.
Share to TwitterRussian President Vladimir Putin warned Friday that the situation in eastern Ukraine is escalating, amid fears Moscow is seeking a pretext to attack its ex-Soviet neighbour.
Russia has demanded for years that Kyiv negotiate with the separatists directly, but Ukraine has always refused because it views them as Kremlin puppets and it would legitimize Moscow's false narrative that the ongoing conflict is exclusively a civil war and does not involve Russia. "I honestly just didn't pay attention to it. There are plenty of hoaxes. Constantly reacting to them is more trouble than it's worth," he added."We do whatever we see fit and will do so further down the road. Of course, we watch what is going on in the world and around us. But we have clear and comprehensible guidelines that correspond with the national interests of the people of Russia and the Russian state.
"You see that it does not depend even on our neighbors, including Ukraine, anymore. It is also obvious to you who the exacerbation of tensions near our borders depends on," Lukashenko said."For the first time in decades, we have ended up on the verge of a conflict, which, unfortunately, is capable of drawing in almost the entire continent, like a vortex."
Still, Blinken said he remains"hopeful" that the threat of sanctions and the supply of military aid to regional allies from the U.S. and others"will have an impact."Share to TwitterRussian-backed separatists in eastern Ukraine have declared a mass evacuation of civilians, while accusing Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy of preparing to launch a full-scale invasion against the breakaway regions in the coming days.
"I again appeal to all men able to hold a rifle in their hands, to come to the defense of their land," Pushilin said in a televised address.
