Pentagon urges Russia to be more transparent over Ukrainian border situation - TASS

Russia should show more transparency regarding its actions near the border with Ukraine, Pentagon Press Secretary John Kirby told reporters on Friday.

When asked to comment on the situation on the Russian-Ukrainian border, the spokesman said: "We would like better clarity. We would like the Russians to be more transparent about what it is doing with this force buildup in Crimea and also along the eastern border of Ukraine. It’s not exactly clear."

In his opinion, Russia’s actions were not "conducive to stability and security there." "We call on Russia, as I’ve said in the past, to be more transparent about what they’re up to, what their intentions are," Kirby said.
