Ukraine’s foreign minister informed several European Union foreign ministers that Russia deployed more than 150,000 troops to Ukraine’s border and the Russian-annexed Crimea, according to an April 18 statement from top EU diplomat Joseph Borrell.
“It is more than 150,000 Russian troops massing on the Ukrainian borders and in Crimea,” Borrell said. “The risk of further escalation is evident.” He did not provide a source for these figures, though his office later amended the number of troops to “more than 100,000” and did not issue a reason for the change.
There are no new sanctions, economic or otherwise, planned for Russia nor any further diplomatic expulsions in retaliation. However, Borrell stated the Russian military’s increase of forces at the Ukrainian border is the largest ever.
