The U.S. ambassador to the United Nations said members of the U.N. Security Council will press Russia on Monday about Moscow’s massing of troops near Ukraine and rising fears it is planning an invasion.
The U.S. ambassador to the United Nations said the Security Council will press Russia hard in a Monday session to discuss its massing of troops near Ukraine and rising fears it is planning an invasion.
Russia’s massing of an estimated 100,000 troops near the border with Ukraine has brought increasingly strong warnings from the West that Moscow intends to invade. Russia is demanding that NATO promise never to allow Ukraine to join the alliance, and to stop the deployment of NATO weapons near Russian borders and roll back its forces from Eastern Europe.The head of Russia’s Security Council, Nikolai Patrushev, on Sunday rejected Western warnings about an invasion.
Congressional Republicans and Democrats have been divided over the timing of possible sanctions, with many GOP members pushing for the U.S. to impose tough penalties immediately instead of waiting for Russia to send new troops into Ukraine.
