Ukraine has pushed back at "apocalyptic predictions" over a potential Russian invasion after officials in the United States sounded dire warnings that Moscow had stepped up its preparations for a major incursion. "Today, Ukraine has a strong army, unprecedented international support and the faith of Ukrainians in their country. It is the enemy who should fear us," he added.
Kiev, backed up by some European allies, has consistently sought to play down fears of an imminent attack as it tries to avoid inflicting further harm on its struggling economy.A day earlier two US officials said that Russia may be ready for a full-scale invasion of Ukraine by mid-February as it had in place about 70 percent of the combat power it believed it would need and was sending more battalion tactical groups to the border.
