The Pentagon said that on the issue of Ukraine "there is space for diplomacy"

According to Kirby, the United States continues to observe the "build-up of Russian troops" and has no information about their intentions.

“There is space for diplomacy, there is space for leadership.

There is no reason for all this to result in a conflict of one kind or another, or in an "invasion," RIA Novosti quotes a spokesman for the American military department.

As it became known earlier, the head of the Pentagon Lloyd Austin held a meeting with the command about the situation around Ukraine.
