Ukraine has called for a meeting with Russia and other members of a key European Security group over the escalating tensions on its border.
Foreign Minister, Dmytro Kuleba said Russia had ignored formal requests to explain the build-up of troops at its borders.
Kuleba disclosed that the next step was requesting a meeting within the next 48 hours for transparency about Russia’s plans.
Russia, however, has denied any plans to invade Ukraine despite the build-up of some 100,000 soldiers on Ukraine’s borders.
Meanwhile, some Western Nations have warned that Russia is preparing for military action, with the United States noting that Moscow could begin with aerial bombardments at any time.
