(Worthy News) – Russian President Vladimir Putin’s reason for a major military buildup on Ukrainian borders remains a mystery, U.S. intelligence officials told lawmakers.

“The Russians have positioned themselves to give themselves options,” Army Lt. Gen. Scott Berrier, director of the Defense Intelligence Agency, told a Senate panel Wednesday. “We don’t know what the intent is right now.”

Kremlin officials have defended the military buildup as an internal matter, as the forces have not left Russian borders, and yet, Russian officials also have implied they might be justified to invade eastern Ukraine on behalf of Russian-speaking people in Donbas. The brewing crisis is high on Secretary of State Antony Blinken’s agenda this week at NATO headquarters in Brussels, which hosted Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba, given that the conflict in Donbas was begun by Russian special forces invading under false pretenses.
