Pentagon Monitoring Unusual Russian Activity Near Ukraine - Spokesman - UrduPoint

Pentagon Monitoring Unusual Russian Activity Near Ukraine

The United States continues to monitor the "unusual" activity of Russian forces near Ukraine, Pentagon spokesman John Kirby said on Friday.

"We continue to watch and monitor unusual Russian military activity near Ukraine.

We also continue to consult with our allies and partners on issue," Kirby told reporters during a press briefing.

Any escalatory or aggressive actions by Russia would be a matter of great concern to the US, he added.

Asked to explain which exact behavior the US considers unusual, Kirby said, "it is a matter of scale. It's a matter of the size of the units."

  1. Ukrainian Armed Forces' Chief of the General Staff Serhiy Shaptala said that there was no build-up of Russian forces near the Ukrainian borders, the situation was under control.

    Earlier, the Washington Post newspaper reported, citing sources, that a number of American and European officials were concerned about the alleged resumption of the build-up of Russian troops near the border with Ukraine. The publication noted that these movements were detected in recent weeks, after Russia had completed large-scale joint military exercises with Belarus Zapad-2021. Later, US publication Politico published satellite images, allegedly showing the deployment of the Russian military "on the border with Ukraine." The images showed areas in the Smolensk Region, which does not border on Ukraine.

    The Ukrainian Defense Ministry announced earlier that it did not record the build-up of Russian troops near its own borders and considered information about this in the media to be an element of special information and psychological actions.

    National Security and Defense Council Secretary Oleksiy Danilov also denied information about the activity of Russian troops near the Ukrainian borders.
