Tensions mount at Ukrainian border as Russia amps up military presence

Ukraine is bracing for a possible invasion from Russia, which continues to expand its military presence on Ukraine’s northern border. While talks between the U.S. and Russia have stalled, the U.S. vowed to respond “swiftly and severely” with sanctions should Russia launch an attack. Holly Williams reports.

200 million of my taxes and other people's taxes
if we get in trouble will the ukrainians send us 200 million of their money?

[robertherrera]

There’s always money for weapons and war 200 million dollars to Ukraine while millions of Americans pay more taxes, get Evicted, have no health insurance, and struggle to buy food/heat during winter . This is a European problem not the us .

[mandladumisa]

Countries who still believe in USA they must remember what happened in Iraq, Libya, Afghanistan etc

[eritreashikor]

Stop the war. Put these politicians in a boxing match. Problem solved.

[davidwong]

Sent US 🇺🇸 and Nato Troops to die for Ukraine 🇺🇦 😂 🤣

[MicahSMoore]

Reminds me so much of the warmongering media campaign leading up to the Iraq war.

[pctest]

US should of transported some of the equipment too Ukrainian from the Taliban. 🤣

[makeyyyy]

When the USA invade Iraq. Russia didn't arms the Iraqi army up

[fatmike]

I call upon Techno Viking to step forward now and put all this to rest.

Training the Ukraine troops like we trained the afghani troops. Look how well that turned out.

[michaelnoonan]

Are we expecting another cack-handed American military intervention like Vietnam, Iraq and Afghanistan?

[frontlinewitness]

I mean Russia does seem to have the upper hand strategically, troops lined up on the north in Belerus, The south in Crimea, and the East in Russia, Could attack from 3 different angels, 2 angels with the 3rd being a diversion, attack from the north and south and circle Kiev to force surrender, but they would have to use a Blitzkreig offense to smash them before NATO forces could react. If they move slow then NATO may get involved directly. And I'm betting while this goes on China will also make a move to take taiwan

[Dahlia]

The look on Putins face says it Let's go Brandon!!!

[tutifruti]

Let's all be on the same page for the sake of future history records on which side caused the start of WW3:
1. NATO violates agreement with Russia to cease expansion towards to the East and openly admits it intends to keep violating it.
2. On top of that, NATO refuses to allow Ukraine remain an Austrian type of partner to NATO, acceptable form to Russia, but insists it must be full NATO member, right up to the Russian border, incl. Donbass (where mostly ethnic Russians, not Ukrainians, reside)
3. NATO "invades" Ukraine with delivery of NATO weaponry, arms and staff to Ukraine "in case of Russian invasion"
4. Now, don't anyone DARE categorize potential future Russian actions as "invasion". The only acceptable term is retaliation.
5. Good luck to all the regular, innocent people on all sides and RIP to all who are about to die. Let's hope the casualty count will be far less than that of WW2.

I feel sorry for Russians, ... but NOT Russia.

[kalmykdude]

We know. How many times are you gonna report tensions along the border. And report the same news, nothing new.

[ulhpvpy]

WHAT IS RUSSIA WAITING FOR COME ON AND GET ON WITH IT

[billybud]

Many of the Ukrainian citizens speak Russian, and align with Russia. We have NO business starting a war there. USA, go home. Defend your own borders. For a change.

[yurydolinsky]

Until they invade its all normal military training. Every country does it!

[Russianbro]

Russian troops are in Russia, what is the problem? Should Russia raise the alarm at US/allied military excursions in Russian AO?
