In her interview with an episode of the "Without Borders" program (23/2022), she added that Russia had mobilized about 150,000 soldiers on the border with Ukraine during the past few days, and to counter these moves, the Ukrainian Defense and Security Council decided to impose a state of emergency in the country.
On the US warnings of the imminent Russian invasion of Ukraine, Emina Jabbar confirmed that the Ukrainian Foreign Minister is currently visiting the United States after he visited many countries to discuss the crisis, and he also delivered a speech at the United Nations in order to advance the peace process in Ukraine and stop any threat of war.
She stressed that the country is preparing militarily to confront any Russian invasion, and thanked the allied countries for what they offered and provided to her country, noting that the Ukrainian army worked on major changes and was no longer like the Ukrainian army in 2014, and Parliament allowed civilians to bear arms as a precautionary measure in anticipation of the worst.
Minsk Agreement
Regarding the Russian accusations that Ukraine violated the decisions of the Minsk Agreement, the Ukrainian Deputy Foreign Minister described these accusations as false and as a justification for its withdrawal from it, and said that these accusations contained a contradiction.

Punishment weapon
On the sanctions imposed on Russia, Emina Jabbar called on the United States of America and European allies to impose more sanctions on Moscow and the separatist leaders in the Donbas region, because they represent a deterrent weapon that prevents the recurrence of such matters in the future, and we look forward to diplomatic decisions because the military scenario will lead to a global war and will not be regional. .
She stressed that the war today will not be only military, but rather a hybrid and global gas supplies will be affected because Ukraine is part of these agreements, and the loss will be greater for Russia.
