Tras, who stood at the press conference alongside her Russian counterpart, Sergei Lavrov, said "I see no other reason to place 100,000 troops on the Ukrainian border other than threatening Ukraine, and if Russia is serious about diplomacy it should move those troops and avoid the threats."

Military tension is at its peak

As you may recall, the military tension between Russia and Ukraine has reached a peak in the past day since the outbreak of the crisis.

A senior U.S. intelligence official told the NBC News that Russia was in the final stages of preparing for a major land invasion of its western neighbor.

The senior official estimated that at this stage "it is less likely that the great momentum of the Russian power-building is actually a scam, or a tactic of extortion."

The source also claimed that a Russian attack would include massive firing of ballistic missiles and cruise missiles, aimed at disabling the Ukrainian anti-aircraft array.
