The answer below:
news of the day
The Russian and Belarusian armies launched major maneuvers on Thursday in the Belarusian region of Brest, bordering Ukraine, as intense diplomatic efforts continue to defuse the crisis.
The Pentagon announced that the heads of the American and Belarusian armies spoke to prevent the possibility of "unfortunate incidents" during the maneuvers, which are supposed to last until February 20.
The deployment of these soldiers and a battery of S-400 anti-aircraft systems was immediately denounced by the Ukrainian presidency as a means of "psychological pressure" used by Moscow, which has also massed since November more than 100,000 soldiers near from its own border with Ukraine.
sentence of the day
“Ultimatums and threats lead nowhere”
This is the feeling of the head of Russian diplomacy Sergei Lavrov, who pronounced this sentence at the start of his meeting in Moscow with his British counterpart Liz Truss.
He also lamented that "many of our Western colleagues [have] a passion for this form [of communication]".
The number of the day
350.
This is the number of additional British soldiers who landed in Poland on Thursday.
"We must work together now to achieve a detente and convince Vladimir Putin to start a de-escalation," said Boris Johnson during a joint press briefing with his Polish counterpart, Mateusz Morawiecki.
The trend of the day
Western countries have unanimously denounced the maneuvers of Russia and Belarus on the border with Ukraine.
French Foreign Minister Jean-Yves Le Drian regretted "a gesture of great violence", while NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg described these maneuvers as "a dangerous moment for security in Europa”.
I delivered a clear message to Minister Lavrov that Russia must deescalate, respect Ukraine's sovereignty and engage in meaningful talks.
If Russia is serious about not invading, we need to see troops withdraw.
The military build-up is an undeniable threat to Ukraine.
