He added that he intends to visit Stanytsia Luhanska and Kyiv.

Exacerbation on the border of Ukraine and Russia

On November 11, 2021, Bloomberg published an article about the risks of a full-scale Russian attack on Ukraine. The agency noted that American and European diplomats are seriously concerned about the current movement of Russian troops towards the Ukrainian border.

Moscow itself denies this, calling the autumn redeployment a “demonstration of strength.”

In early November, the Western media began to publish information with reference to satellite images of the active movement of the Russian military to the border with Ukraine.

At the same time, the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine denied this information.
