Russia could double the number of troops it has on Ukraine's border in "relatively short order," US Secretary of State Antony Blinken has warned after meeting with Ukrainian leaders.
Mr Blinken's meetings with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba in Kyiv on Wednesday (local time) were the first of three stops the top US diplomat is making this week amid warnings from the US that Russia, which has amassed tens of thousands of troops near near Ukrainian borders, could launch an invasion at any point.
"As we meet today, Russia has ratcheted up its threats and amassed nearly 100,000 forces on Ukraine's border, which it could double on relatively short order," Mr Blinken said during a press conference alongside Mr Kuleba.
