UK's Johnson Says 'Still A Chance' to Avoid War in Ukraine - Tasnim News Agency

(Tasnim) – British Prime Minister Boris Johnson said on Friday there is "still a chance to avoid unnecessary bloodshed" that would follow any Russian invasion of Ukraine.



Downing Street says Russia continues to strengthen its forces massed on Ukraine's borders, despite denials from Moscow, suggesting that 7,000 troops have bolstered Russian positions.

Washington estimates that up to 190,000 troops, including pro-Moscow separatist fighters in Ukraine's east, could be ready to invade Russia's pro-Western neighbor.

"There is still a chance to avoid unnecessary bloodshed, but it will require an overwhelming display of Western solidarity beyond anything we have seen in recent history," Johnson said in a statement ahead of attending the Munich Security Conference, AFP reported.
