Russo-Ukrainian War

Russia has been locked in weeks of negotiations with the US and Nato on its security concerns even though Nato rejected its core demands right away

2,000 troops left the Fort Bragg base in North Carolina and headed for Europe. By order of United States President Joe Biden, the military will be stationed in Germany and Poland.

European Reactions to the US decision to send Troops in Eastern Europe

Thousands of US troops currently in Germany will be relocated to Romania.

The leaders of Turkey and France attempted to mediate in the Ukraine crisis on Thursday as Washington announced it had evidence of a Russian plan to fake a Ukrainian attack to justify invading its neighbour.

French Foreign Minister Jean-Yves Le Drian, who is in Bucharest, met virtually today with nine of his Eastern European counterparts to discuss the crisis over Ukraine, Reuters reported. According to information from ClubZ, the Bulgarian Minister of Foreign Affairs Teodora Genchovska also participated.

The presidents of France and the United States pledged a coordinated response to Russia's military presence on the Ukrainian border.

Russia has condemned the US decision to send additional troops to Europe in support of NATO allies.

Washington's decision is a "destructive and unjustified step" and will only increase tensions in the region, said Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Alexander Grushko.

The United States has offered Russia an Exchange of Information on Missiles

Bulgaria is "a committed NATO ally contributing to our collective defence." This was written on Twitter by NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg after a conversation with Bulgarian Prime Minister Kiril Petkov yesterday.

However, Pentagon spokesman John Kirby points out that American soldiers will not take part in the fighting on Ukrainian soil, if that happens.

According to the description of the videos posted on social networks, heavy artillery fire has been echoing in that part of Ukraine since early morning.

Another video states that the artillery is echoing in the Kirovsky district.

The United States has told Russia it is ready to provide the Kremlin with a way to verify that there are no Tomahawk cruise missiles at NATO bases in Poland and Romania if Moscow is willing to share similar missile information at some Russian bases.
