Sergei Nareshkin, head of Russia's foreign intelligence service, said Ukraine was fully prepared for war and that its combat-effective forces were concentrated along the Donbass demarcation line.

In an interview with the Moscow Komsomol newspaper, Nareshkin said: "Preparations for the war are in full swing, and this cannot be hidden. All forces, as long as they are combat effective, regardless of the number, have been concentrated in the areas bordering Donbass. Hundreds of tons of equipment and ammunition are being transferred from U.S. bases in Europe to the United Kingdom and Canada. The ranks of NATO Special Forces advisers and instructors are also expanding. There are even reports of a multinational force of mujahideen militants in Ukraine. “

In recent times, Ukraine and Western countries have expressed concern about the alleged intensification of Russia's "aggressive actions" near the Ukrainian border. Russia has repeatedly refuted the allegations, saying it does not threaten and intends to attack anyone, while the claim of "Russian aggression" is used as a pretext to deploy more NATO military equipment close to the Russian border.

The Russian Foreign Ministry has previously pointed out that Western rhetoric about "Russian aggression" and its potential to help Kiev avoid aggression is both ridiculous and dangerous. Russian presidential press secretary Peskov said that Russia is mobilizing troops as needed within its own borders. He said that did not threaten anyone and should not worry anyone.
