Kremlin spokesman Peskov told reporters that Washington “has declared economic war on Russia and it is de facto waging this war.”

Russia says Western arms supplies to Kiev shows Moscow was right to seek demilitarization of its neighbor.

The conflict between Russia and Ukraine continued for second day, with explosions reported in Kiev as Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy rued being "left alone" by the West and announced readiness to declare neutrality. 

Russia says there are no concrete plans in place for a summit between President Putin and his American counterpart Biden over Ukraine.

The Kremlin has denounced as “baseless hysteria” weeks-long US claims that Russia is poised to invade Ukraine.

The Kremlin says significant breakthroughs could not be expected from a meeting of the Russian and French leaders in Moscow.

Another contingent of US troops land in southeastern Poland near the border with Ukraine as part of efforts to reinforce NATO’s military buildup in eastern Europe.

The Kremlin says the United States is fueling tensions over Ukraine, stressing that Moscow is watching with great concern, after Washington put thousands of troops on alert for deployment in Eastern Europe.

The Kremlin says the United States and its allies are escalating tensions on Ukraine through “information hysteria.”

Russia says it can no longer “tolerate” NATO's eastward expansion and “gradual invasion” of Ukraine.
