In Ukraine, where people raised flags and played the national anthem to show unity against the fear of an invasion Wednesday, the government said a cyber attack that hit the defence ministry was the worst of the kind the country had seen. He pointed to Russia, which denied involvement.
The Russian Defence Ministry said its forces part of a large gathering that has been associated with Western demands for comprehensive security guarantees are withdrawing after exercises in the southern and western military districts near Ukraine.
He published a video showing tanks, infantry instruments, and self - moving artillery from the Crimea Peninsula, which Moscow seized from Ukraine in 2014.
But US Secretary of State Antony Blinken said the main Russian units were moving to the border, not far from him.
This is what Russia says. And then it's what Russia does. And we have not seen any withdrawals of her forces. We continue to see critical units moving towards the border, not far from the” border. Blinken said in an interview in MSNBC, Aljazeera writes.
About 7,000 other troops have moved to the border in recent days, including some who have arrived Wednesday, a senior US government official said, without proving.
Analysts have warned that the crisis could last for the coming months.
