Russia says in a set of written responses to US proposals on European security that it has no plans to invade Ukraine, as Western officials warn that an attack by Moscow could be imminent.
“There is no ‘Russian invasion’ of Ukraine, which the United States and its allies have been announcing officially since last fall, and it is not planned,” the foreign ministry says in a public statement.
