KIEV – Defense Minister Ukraine Oleksiy Reznikov said there would be a very bloody massacre if Russia decided to attack his country. He then warned that Russians would also return to the coffins, amid growing concerns about the movement of Red Bear troops across the country’s borders.

Reznikov then urged US President Joe Biden to stand firm against Moscow. Biden himself will speak to Russian President Vladimir Putin via video conference call.

“If I can suggest President Biden, I would like him to articulate to Mr Putin that no red line on the part of the Kremlin should be here. The red line is here in Ukraine and the civilized world will react without hesitation,” Reznikov said in a statement. interview with CNN.

“The idea of ​​not provoking Russia will not work,” he added.

US and Western officials have expressed concern over the buildup of Russian troops on the Ukrainian border, with Foreign Minister Antony Blinken saying last week that the US should be prepared for all eventualities.

Russia has the capability along Ukraine’s borders to carry out a swift and immediate invasion, including setting up supply lines such as medical and fuel units that could sustain a protracted conflict, should Moscow choose to strike, two sources familiar with US intelligence assessments told CNN last week. then.

Reznikov told CNN that Ukraine assessed that Russia currently had 95,000 troops within striking distance of Ukraine. He also added that, due to the strength of Ukrainian forces in combat, the current US estimate that Russia could muster 175,000 troops to attack Ukraine is an underestimation.

“So we have 250,000 officers… members of our army. Plus, I say 400,000 veterans and 200,000 reservists. 175,000 is not enough to go to Ukraine,” Reznikov said.
