Neighboring Russia has deployed about 100,000 troops on the Ukrainian border. There are fears that Russian troops could invade the country at any moment. In this situation, Russian President Vladimir Putin has made serious allegations against the United States.

The Russian president has accused the United States of trying to involve Russia in the war in Ukraine. The British media reported this information in a report on Wednesday (February 2).

In recent months, tensions between Russia and the West over Ukraine have escalated. However, this is the first time in the last few weeks that the Russian president has opened his mouth on this exciting issue.

Putin has accused the United States of using Ukraine as a tool against Russia and of using the issue to impose further sanctions on Moscow. The United States has said it is concerned about Russia's involvement in the NATO-led operation in Europe.

Speaking to reporters in Moscow on Tuesday, President Putin said, "It seems to me that the United States is not too concerned about the security situation in Ukraine. And to achieve that goal, Ukraine is just an issue for the West. "

Neighboring Russia has long deployed about 100,000 troops along the Ukrainian border. The country has also sent a fleet of warplanes, including tanks and artillery, to the Ukrainian border. There are also fears that Russian troops could invade the country at any moment. However, Moscow has repeatedly claimed that it has no plans to invade Ukraine.

However, Ukraine's Western allies have repeatedly said that an attack on the Eastern European country would target Russia's economy. In addition, the United States and the United Kingdom have been issuing strict sanctions against Russia in the event of an attack on Ukraine.

Tensions have been running high since Ukraine, a former Soviet Union state and Russia's neighbor, applied for NATO membership a few years ago. The recent escalation of tensions has been fueled by NATO's decision not to grant Ukraine membership but to nominate it as an "ally".

The North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), formed in 1949, is seen by Russia as a tool for the domination of Western powers; And Russia, historically the largest country in the world, is opposed to Western hegemony.

The United States and NATO say Ukraine has the right to join the Western military alliance. However, there may be talks with Russia on missile deployment and other issues. If Russia invaded Ukraine, this would not be the first attack.
