(MENAFN- Kuwait News Agency (KUNA)) The US Department of State expressed on Monday deep concern over Russia's plan to conduct a large military aviation exercise this week in areas bordering Ukraine.
"Exercises of this kind are provocative and only serve to escalate tensions," Department Spokesperson Jen Psaki told reporters.
"Russia has repeatedly called for a peaceful solution to the situation in Ukraine and must match its words with deeds by ceasing the flow of weapons, fighters and money into Ukraine and by moving its military forces away from the Ukrainian borders," she reiterated.
