Ukrainian crisis
Russia's Foreign Ministry on Thursday called the
arrival of U.S. military trainers in western Ukraine a “provocation” and warned
Ukrainians that they should rethink the consequences of hosting Western forces.
“U.S.-Ukrainian military drills in the western
Ukrainian Lviv region threaten Russia's security,” ministry spokesman Alexander
Lukashevich said in a statement carried by the official Tass news agency.
A top NATO commander lambasted Russia in turn in a
fashion reminiscent of the Cold War, a reflection of the crisis that now
afflicts East-West relations after two decades of hope for an end to the
bipolar world.
