Western media disseminated information about the relocation of Russian troops near the borders of Ukraine. The Ministry of Defense denies this.

The Ministry of Defense has denied media reports that Russia is again increasing its military grouping near the border with Ukraine after the West-2021 exercises.

“According to the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine, as of November 1, 2021, an additional transfer of Russian units, weapons and military equipment to the state border with Ukraine has not been recorded,” the statement said.

The Defense Ministry assured that intelligence is monitoring the movement of Russian troops.

The Washington Post wrote about the resumption of the movement of Russian troops near the borders of Ukraine.

It was noted that recently videos have appeared on social networks showing “Russian military trains and convoys carrying large quantities of military equipment, including tanks and missiles, in the south and west of Russia.”

Earlier today, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said that Ukraine is trying to create a “provocative situation” and to drag Moscow into “violent actions”.

The Ukrainian Foreign Ministry replied that they are trying involve Russia in the diplomatic processrather than forceful actions.
