Kiev: Ukraine has demanded that Russia withdraw its troops from Ukraine and continue diplomatic relations with Western countries. This is despite Russia saying it does not need a new war. Russia has deployed troops along the Ukrainian border with state-of-the-art weapons. This led to worsening relations with Russia and other Western countries after the Cold War. Meanwhile, the UN Security Council met yesterday to discuss the Ukraine-Russia issue. Further details of the discussion have not been released.
Russia has said it has deployed more than 100,000 troops on Ukraine’s border, but fears war could lead to NATO intervention. Russia, however, declined to say why troops were deployed along the border.
