U.S. ambassador to the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe Michael Carpenter made the statement Friday, following early statements by security officials that Russia might not yet have the force needed for a full-scale invasion. 'We assess that Russia probably has massed between 169,000-190,000 personnel in and near Ukraine as compared with about 100,000 on January 30,' Carpenter told a meeting of the group.
