In recent days, Western countries have repeatedly expressed concern about the statements of the Ukrainian military about the build-up of Russian forces along the border with Ukraine. As the press secretary of the Russian President Dmitry Peskov said earlier, the movement of Russian troops across the territory of the Russian Federation should not bother other states, since it does not threaten them in any way. He also stressed that what is happening in the Donbass is an internal Ukrainian conflict, in which Russian troops have never participated.
