Could Russia intervene in Ukraine? The shows of force on the Russian side are real. Friday, January 21, in Geneva (Switzerland), talks took place between the Americans and the Russians.

Russian missiles leaving for the Ukrainian front, Vladimir Putin’s troops in full exercise… On land, as at sea, officially, the Russian army is training, but its major maneuvers are worrying. What is President Vladimir Putin playing at? AT Geneva (Switzerland), Friday January 21, the handshake between the American Secretary of State Antony Blinken and his Russian counterpart Sergei Lavrov took on the air of arm wrestling.

At the heart of the discussions was Ukraine. The face-to-face lasted two hours. “Russia has never, ever, anywhere threatened the Ukrainian people through its official representatives“, assured Sergei Lavrov. Straightforward response from the head of American diplomacy: “We do not expect to resolve our differences here today, but I hope and expect that we can check whether the voice of diplomacy and dialogue remains open.“On the borders of Eastern Europe, Ukraine is once again at the heart of a duel between Westerners and Russians. After the Donbass region, disputed since 2014 between Ukrainians and pro-Russian separatists, Russia is massing its troops on the borders of Ukraine, with 100,000 men on the ground and missiles in Belarus.Faced with the threat, the concern of NATO countries is increasing.
