BreakingNews Putin puts Russia's nuclear deterrent forces on high alert amid tensions with the West over Ukraine
Why is Russia attacking Ukraine? Experts say Vladimir Putin's reason to invade Ukraine is simple and steeped in history.
Laetitia Courtois, ICRC's permanent observer to the U.N., told The Associated Press that the situation in Ukraine was"a limitation for our teams on the ground" and"we therefore cannot confirm numbers or other details." "Russia has taken the path of evil, and the world should come to depriving it of its U.N. Security Council seat," he said.
Zelenskyy adviser Mykhailo Podolyak dismissed Moscow's offer as"manipulation," adding that Ukraine hadn't agreed to talks in the Belarusian city. The U.S., European Union and United Kingdom agreed to block"selected" Russian banks from the SWIFT global financial messaging system, which moves money around more than 11,000 banks and other financial institutions worldwide, part of a new round of sanctions aiming to impose a severe cost on Moscow for the invasion. They also agreed to impose"restrictive measures" on Russia's central bank.
Putin sent troops into Ukraine after denying for weeks that he intended to do so, all the while building up a force of almost 200,000 troops along the countries' borders. He claims the West has failed to take seriously Russia's security concerns about NATO, the Western military alliance that Ukraine aspires to join. But he has also expressed scorn about Ukraine's right to exist as an independent state.
