The Kremlin’s latest statements out Friday amid the potential new Ukraine crisis which has seen a serious flare-up in fighting in the Donbass region, along with what appears to be far bigger-than-usual troop movements on Russia’s side of the border, has raised the stakes further.<\/p>\n

Russia has vowed it will take “extra measures to ensure its own security” should it observe any deployment of NATO troops inside Ukraine<\/strong>, the Kremlin statement said Friday according to Reuters<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n

It firmly warned against any potential looming NATO troop movements <\/strong>following Brussels voicing concern the day prior over the\u00a0widespread reports and videos purporting to show a significant\u00a0Russian build-up of forces along Ukraine’s eastern border.<\/p>\n

Reuters reports Russia’s Friday statement and “warning” as follows<\/a>:<\/p>\n

Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters on Friday that the situation at the contact line in eastern Ukraine between Ukrainian government forces and Russian-backed separatist forces was quite frightening and that multiple “provocations” were taking place there<\/strong>.<\/em><\/p>\n

U.S. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin on Thursday spoke with his Ukrainian counterpart, Andrii Taran, and “condemned recent escalations of Russian aggressive and provocative actions in eastern Ukraine,”<\/strong> the Pentagon said.<\/em><\/p>\n

“Our rhetoric [over Donbass] is absolutely constructive,” Peskov said<\/a> in response to journalists’ questions. “We do not indulge in wishful thinking. Regrettably, the realities along the engagement line are rather frightening<\/strong>. Provocations by the Ukrainian armed forces do take place. They are not casual. There have been many of them.”<\/p>\n

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky condemned the Russian troop movements across the border, calling the situation “muscle-flexing” likely to lead to “provocations” for which Ukraine’s army is “ready”.<\/p>\n
