Ukrainian Foreign Minister says current Russian troop numbers insufficient for full invasion
CNN
Russia has not assembled sufficient forces to launch a full-scale invasion of Ukraine imminently, Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba said Wednesday.
Kuleba told reporters in Kyiv that Russian troops could attack Ukraine at any time, as had been the case since 2014, but currently would not be able to mount a full offensive.
"The number of Russian troops amassed along the border of Ukraine and in occupied territories is large, it poses a threat -- a direct threat to Ukraine," said Kuleba.
Senate Democrats grilled Robert F. Kennedy Jr. over his various controversial statements including his stance on vaccines during his confirmation hearing to be President Donald Trump’s health and human services secretary, and most left feeling overwhelmingly unsatisfied by the answers they received.
