The risk of Russia invading Ukraine is as high as at any time since the crisis began, with Kremlin agents stoking unrest in the east of the country preparing for elections tomorrow, according to Ukraine’s envoy to the U.S.
Russia hasn’t taken any “practical steps” to ease tensions with its neighbor, Ambassador Olexander Motsyk said in e-mailed answers to questions from Bloomberg News. Ukrainian forces are “ready to defend their country,” and the government expects a “robust and decisive” response from the international community in case of an incursion, he said.
