Russia threatened Wednesday to take “retaliatory measures” if the US and its allies reject Russian President Vladimir Putin’s security demands — ratcheting up already high tensions between Washington and Moscow over the potential invasion of Ukraine.
The Kremlin has called on the US to provide written guarantees that Ukraine and other former Soviet bloc states would never be allowed to join NATO and that the Western alliance rolls back troop deployments in Eastern Europe.
Russia, which has stationed more than 100,000 troops along its border with Ukraine, denies that it is preparing to launch an invasion, saying instead that it is countering military actions by the US and its European allies.
