UN Security Council meetingUN, Jan 18 The United States is concerned about the military exercises of Russia and Belarus, said United States Ambassador to the UN Linda Thomas-Greenfield in an interview with The Washington Post. «We are concerned about the exercises, but we are also concerned about the military buildup on the border with Ukraine. All this signals to us that Russia is aggressive towards Ukraine. This is not just one action, it is an accumulation of actions and intensity of actions,» Thomas-Greenfield said. Pavel Muraveiko said that, together with Russia, a sudden check of the forces and means of reaction of the Union State would be carried out. At the final stage of this event, the Belarusian-Russian exercises «Allied Resolve-2022» will be held. According to the Ministry of Defense, the exercises will be held from February 10 to 20. Russia has repeatedly rejected the accusations of the West and Ukraine of «aggressive actions», stating that it does not threaten anyone and is not going to attack anyone, and statements about «Russian aggression» are used as a pretext to deploy more NATO military equipment near Russian borders. The Russian Foreign Ministry previously noted that Western statements about «Russian aggression» and the possibility of helping Kiev defend itself against it are both ridiculous and dangerous. >Caribbean crisis 2.0: what is the US military afraid of?
