US warns Russia against sending troops into eastern Ukraine
[Iran Press TV] The United States says it will not tolerate Russian troops in eastern Ukraine, as tensions between Washington and Moscow escalate over the Ukraine crisis.
"We are monitoring the situation carefully. We will not accept the use, under any pretext, of any Russian military forces in eastern Ukraine," White House press secretary Josh Earnest said. "Reports from Moscow that the Russian defense ministry is considering creating military cordons in eastern Ukraine are also troubling," he added. According to a Russian defense ministry source, Russian troops were prepared to enter Ukraine's troubled regions to "put up barriers between the civilian population and the Ukrainian army." Meanwhile, ...back at the wrecked scow, a single surviver held tightly to the smashed prow... Jen Psaki, the spokeswoman of the US State Department, said on Friday, "We have our own information that Russia has redeployed military forces to its border with Ukraine."
