Russia has denied a British claim that it's seeking to replace Ukraine’s government with a pro-Moscow administration.
Former U.S. Diplomat Brett Bruen explains rising tensions between Russia and Ukraine.
Those politicians include Mykola Azarov, a former prime minister under Viktor Yanukovych, the Ukrainian president ousted in a 2014 uprising, and Yanukovych's former chief of staff, Andriy Kluyev. "The time of pro-Western and pro-Russian politicians in Ukraine is gone forever," he said in a Facebook post. Shortly before the British statement was made public, he posted his face superimposed on a James Bond movie poster and the comment "Details tomorrow."The U.K. government made the claim based on an intelligence assessment, without providing evidence to back it up.
Truss urged Russia to "deescalate, end its campaigns of aggression and disinformation, and pursue a path of diplomacy," and reiterated Britain’s view that "any Russian military incursion into Ukraine would be a massive strategic mistake with severe costs." "This is one of those situations where it is hard to know whether what we're facing is a genuine threat, a misunderstanding of the inevitable overtures that were being made to various Ukrainian figures by Russians or ‘strategic communication’ — which is what we call propaganda these days when we're doing it." said Galeotti. who is honorary professor of Slavonic and East European Studies at University College, London.
