The United States accuses Russia of looking for an excuse for an attack in the Ukraine conflict.

Foreign Minister Antony Blinken delivers a memorable speech - and lists.

Munich/New York – What are Russian President Vladimir Putin* and his Belarusian ally Alexander Lukashenko planning in the Ukraine conflict?

This question is driving international politics between Washington, London, Paris, Berlin and Warsaw.

And last but not least, of course, Kiev, which, as the capital, is considered a target in the event of a possible attack in the Ukraine crisis.

“We see: They do the opposite of what they say.

In the last 48 hours they have increased their troops by up to 7000 soldiers.

We'll take them at their word, but we'll judge them by their actions," UK Defense Secretary Ben Wallace said on Thursday (February 18) about an alleged Russian troop withdrawal.
