The Kremlin said on Friday Moscow would be forced to take measures if the West sends troops to Ukraine to buttress its ally, amid reports of a Russian troop build-up on the border.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky on Thursday accused Russia of massing troops on the border and Washington pledged to stand by Ukraine in the event of Russian “aggression.”
“There is no doubt such a scenario would lead to a further increase in tensions close to Russia’s borders. Of course, this would call for additional measures from the Russian side to ensure its security,” Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters.
