Now Playing(Feb. 18) The U.S. said Russia has massed as many as 190,000 personnel – including troops, National Guard units and Russian-backed separatists – in and around Ukraine in what it called the most significant military mobilization since World War II.
Russia told the U.S. this week that it has no plans to attack, and officials in Moscow have repeatedly dismissed U.S. warnings about a possible invasion as “hysteria” and propaganda.
The buildup has sparked a flurry of diplomatic activity between allies and adversaries. U.S. President Joe Biden will speak with transatlantic leaders on Friday about the Kremlin’s troop movements. Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu will also talk to his U.S. counterpart Lloyd Austin by phone, and Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov will meet U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken in Europe next week.
