(Worthy News) – NATO leaders and Russia traded sharp threats Tuesday over a military standoff in Ukraine, with President Biden pressing the Kremlin to de-escalate the situation and suggesting it was time for him and Russian President Vladimir Putin to have a face-to-face talk about Russian provocations.

Fears mounted over a sharp Russian buildup of troops and naval assets on Ukraine’s perimeter in recent days. Analysts said it could be a move to support more openly pro-Russian separatists in eastern Ukraine who have been battling the Western-supported government in Kyiv. Russia’s defense minister said some 40,000 troops near Ukraine’s eastern border were on a training exercise and accused the U.S. and its allies of beefing up their own forces along Russian borders in recent months.

More than 14,000 people have died in fighting in eastern Ukraine, and a European-led series of peace talks has made little evident progress. Ukraine has issued daily reports of military casualties over the past week, and rebels also have suffered losses, The Associated Press said. [ Source: Washington Times (Read More…) ]
