“Today, our intelligence does not observe the formation of a strike force, but this does not mean that they will not be able to deploy it if they wish, because the risks remain,” TASS quotes Reznikov.
According to him, the deployment of such a group "could take from a week to a half month, depending on what kind of plan Russia has."
Earlier, Russian Ambassador to the United States Anatoly Antonov also said that Russia had no plans to "invade" Ukraine.
Earlier, the press secretary of the Russian leader Dmitry Peskov said that Russia does not even want to pronounce the word "war".
The Kremlin also stated that a number of Western countries and organizations, including NATO, have recently shown undisguised informational aggression against Russia.
