Russia says it has no room to retreat in a standoff with the US over Ukraine and would be forced into a tough response unless the West dropped its 'aggressive line'
President Vladimir Putin hints at potential conflict in talks with German Chancellor Olaf Scholz, saying"unfriendly" Western actions are taking place"at the doorstep of our house."
Putin also called for "serious negotiations" on Russian security demands put to the United States and NATO during his first call with new German Chancellor Olaf Scholz on Tuesday, who in turn called for "de-escalation". Putin told Defence Ministry officials that if the West continued its "obviously aggressive stance" Russia would take "appropriate retaliatory military-technical measures".
Western governments have accused Moscow of amassing some 100,000 troops near its border with eastern Ukraine, where Kiev has been fighting pro-Russia separatists since 2014. Also on Tuesday, the Russian defence chief accuses US mercenaries of preparing chemical weapon provocations in Ukraine.
