“If the Russian officials are serious when they say they don’t want a new war, Russia must continue with its diplomatic commitment and withdraw the military forces deployed on the border with Ukraine and in the temporarily occupied territories of Ukraine”, said the Ukrainian Foreign Minister, Dmytro Kuleba, in a tweet.

Moscow has deployed more than 100,000 soldiers and heavy weapons on the border with Ukraine, according to Western countries, which fear that the Kremlin will carry out a military incursion into the neighboring country.

“Diplomacy is the only responsible way”, added Kuleba.

Moscow denies that it intends to invade Ukraine and insists that it does not want a war, it only seeks guarantees from the United States and NATO for its security.
