Speaking after meeting with Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban, the Russian president said: “to me it seems that the United States is not so concerned about the security of Ukraine, but their main task is to curb Russia's development. In that sense Ukraine itself is just a means to achieve that goal. ”
On the other hand, the United States and NATO accuse Russia of planning to invade Ukraine. Russia has sometimes denied the charge.

Ukraine's president, Voldymyr Zelensky, warned on Tuesday that the Russian invasion “would not be a war between Ukraine and Russia ) would be war in Europe, full-level war”.
