The U.S. Secretary of State says Russia is poised 'to take further aggressive action against Ukraine' but hopes Putin will choose diplomacy.
Williams visited one of the dozens of Cold War-era bunkers across Ukraine that have been renovated and reopened after decades – this time to protect civilians not from the potential American attacks they were designed for, but from Russian weapons.Russia continues to send mixed signals, insisting it has no plans or intentions of attacking Ukraine, but warning that it will resort to"military-technical" means if talks with the U.S. fail.
He added that Moscow was still waiting for a written response from NATO to Russia's security demands. U.S. and European leaders have been united in condemning Russia's actions, but there's less unity about how to deter Moscow.The U.S., Britain, Canada, and Turkey have increased military assistance, sending experts, anti-tank missiles and armed drones, and helping Ukraine rebuild its Navy, among other things. Europe's biggest economy, however, Germany, appears to be treading more cautiously, declining to provide direct military aid.
