Russia regularly demonstrates military force and intentions to use it, so the situation around the Ukrainian borders remains difficult.
This was reported to the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine and explained why the Russian Federation is doing this.
& # 8212; Such actions have a tactical goal – this is pressure on the authorities of Ukraine and pressure on the authorities of other states to force them to dialogue on uncomfortable issues that are extremely important for the Russian Federation. The strategic goal of such goals is the resumption of full control over Ukraine, as well as the disruption of the Euro-Atlantic aspirations of our state, & # 8212; noted in the ministry.
Now our intelligence records the gradual transfer of Russian units, weapons and military equipment to the border with Ukraine.
In addition, there is a redeployment of Russian troops from training areas. But after the completion of the exercises, only personnel return to the permanent deployment points, while combat and other military equipment remains near the Ukrainian border.
The Russian Federation also continues its provocative actions against Ukraine. As of December 13, about 70% of the water area of the Sea of Azov was closed, which impedes free navigation.
But the Ministry of Defense once again assured that the Armed Forces of Ukraine are ready for any scenario.
Recently Ukrainian Defense Minister Alexei Reznikov said that in the event of a possible invasion, Russia will not be able to win in Ukraine.
According to him, if there is a full-scale invasion, then large losses cannot be avoided on both sides.
