Russia continues to deploy troops to border with Ukraine, reportedly considering invasion end January, according to Kiev. US President Joe Biden says it is preparing initiatives to defend Ukraine in the event of Russian aggression.

A few days before a meeting announced between Joe Biden and Vladimir Poutin, the American president raised the temperature. Friday, December 3 from Washington (United States), he said he was organizing the protection of Ukraine against a possible Russian attack. “What I’m doing is preparing what will be the most comprehensive and relevant set of initiatives to make it very difficult for Vladimir Putin to do what people fear he is doing.“said Joe Biden.

For several weeks, Moscow (Russia) has been accused of massing weapons, tanks and nearly 100,000 soldiers on the border with Ukraine, as evidenced by satellite images broadcast by NATO. This scenario is reminiscent of that of 2014 during the annexation of Crimea. If Russia is showing the muscles, it is to put pressure on Ukraine, which wants to join NATO and the European Union. The diplomatic showdown is far from over.
