Recently, relations between Ukraine and Russia have deteriorated rapidly, with the two sides deploying a large number of military personnel and equipment in the border areas of the two countries.
The United States, Ukraine and NATO have said that Russia has assembled a large number of troops near the eastern border of Ukraine and has the potential of "invasion".
Russia denied it, emphasizing that NATO activities threaten Russia's border security, and Russia has the right to mobilize troops within its borders to defend its territory.
