One of the first options for the development of events, according to RIA Novosti, in Washington is considering the possibility of strengthening Ukraine's defense capabilities by increasing military supplies and tightening sanctions against Moscow.
Another scenario is to reduce the number of military exercises in Europe in order to avoid a possible conflict with Russia.
Also, this plan involves the suspension of the sending of military aid from Washington to Kiev.
The CNN TV channel, citing sources, previously reported that the administration of US President Joe Biden is studying the possibility of sending military advisers to Ukraine, as well as additional weapons, including Stinger MANPADS, due to fears of a "Russian invasion."
Moscow did not rule out provocations against the background of publications in the Western media of materials about preparations for the invasion of Ukraine.
At the same time, Russia's Permanent Representative to the UN, Vasily Nebenzya, issued a statement that there is no tension on the border.
