The presidency revealed new measures in response to the order of the Russian president, Vladimir Putinto deploy troops in two separatist areas of Ukraine.
The White House affirmed this Tuesday that the recognition of the independence of the Ukrainian regions of Donetsk and Lugansk supposed “the beginning of an invasion”already using a term that for weeks was for Washington the red line that would trigger unprecedented sanctions.
“We think this is, yes, the beginning of an invasion. Russia’s most recent invasion of Ukraine,” US Deputy National Security Adviser Jon Finer said in an interview with CNN.
In this sense, and questioned about the nuances of the term used, he has ruled that “an invasion is an invasion and that is what is happening.” However, he also pointed out that Russia has been overstepping since 2014, when it annexed the peninsula of crimea.
The decree signed on Monday by Russian President Vladimir Putin opens the door to sending troops to eastern Ukraine, under the pretext of a peace mission. The Russian Foreign Ministry clarified this Tuesday that, “for now”, there is no deployment.
Russia continues to make military preparations to launch a “large-scale” attack against Ukraine, warned Tuesday the secretary general of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), Jens Stoltenberg.
“Everything indicates that Russia continues to plan a large-scale attack against Ukraine… We see that more and more forces are moving out of the camps and are in combat formations and ready to attack,” Stoltenberg said.
