Moscow: There is a possibility of a meeting between the President of America and Russia as a last effort to avert a possible attack by Russia on Ukraine. The possibility comes amid ongoing shelling on Monday in a conflict zone in eastern Ukraine. At the same time, the Western powers are afraid that this shelling can start a war on a large scale. However, this meeting between the two countries will be canceled if Russia invades Ukraine.
In this regard, America is warning in advance that Russia is determined to attack Ukraine. Despite the situation of attack, it is expected that diplomacy will be successful in averting this fierce conflict because if there is war, there will be a lot of casualties and heavy damage will be done to the economy of Europe based largely on energy from Russia. Russia has gathered around 150,000 troops on three sides of Ukraine’s borders, its largest deployment since the Cold War.
At the same time, Western officials have warned that Russian President Vladimir Putin is simply looking for reasons to attack Ukraine because he (Ukraine) has refused to join Russia. Although Moscow denies plans to attack Ukraine, it wants Western countries to guarantee that NATO will not include Ukraine and other former Soviet Union countries as members. Russia has called for a halt to the deployment of weapons by NATO in Ukraine and the withdrawal of forces stationed in Eastern Europe.
