“The deployment of the military to Germany, Poland and Romania is not soldiers who are sent to fight Russia in Ukraine,” RIA Novosti quotes him.
According to him, the US military "does not go to war with Russia."
Sullivan specified that they would defend the territories of NATO countries.
He also claims that the US mission in Europe is "defensive".
Earlier, the leaders of Great Britain, the United States, Italy, Poland, Romania, France, Germany, the EU, the EC and NATO decided to redouble diplomatic efforts on the situation around Ukraine in the near future.
Deputy Foreign Minister of Russia Andrei Rudenko said that the situation around Ukraine has reached the point of absurdity.
Rudenko noted that Moscow has repeatedly and at various levels stated that it does not plan to invade or attack Ukraine.
