The Russian and American foreign ministers met met Thursday 2 December. Ukraine accuses Russia of having massed some 90,000 troops at their common border. Moscow accuses Kiev of accumulating troops as well.
The only notable progress of this meeting, Thursday, December 2 in Sweden, between the Russian and American foreign ministers Sergei Lavrov and Antony Blinkenis that a summit Biden-Putin seems to be clarifying. Otherwise the tone has remained harsh and each country stands on the red lines that each has drawn, estimates, live from Moscow on Friday December 3, Luc Lacroix, the correspondent of France Televisions in Russia.
Vladimir Putin demands that Ukraine not join theNato. Russia denounces military maneuvers near its border and the arming of Kiev by the West. It is this threat that prompts Russia to amass troops and materiel on its side of the border.
Opposite, Ukraine assures us that there is a danger of invasion, the United States speaks of the risk of Russian aggression and assures us that they will not stand idly by if necessary. They remind the antecedent of the annexation of the Crhyming in 2014 overnight by Russia, and in the Donbass (is from Ukraine), a war has been raging for seven years between separatist supporters of Russia and Ukrainian troops. A conflict which has already claimed 13,000 lives.
