Russia threats, rhetoric increase chance of conflict as it seeks NATO assurances
Fox News
Many have accused Russia of orchestrating the massive cyberattack on Ukrainian government websites last week along with possible "false-flag" operations.
Russia moved more troops to the border Wednesday as it also cautioned the U.S. against attempting to admit Ukraine into NATO, which would provide greater cover for the country against its aggressive neighbor.
The U.S. also announced that it had intelligence that Moscow had planned "false-flag" operations in Ukraine near the border, and officials in the U.S. and Europe attributed a massive cyberattack on Ukrainian government websites to Russia.
And Russia has remained concerned over NATO and its possible role in any conflict that results from an invasion into Ukraine. Russian officials submitted a proposal in December for guarantees it wished to see from the U.S., including no further enlargement of the alliance and a reduction of military presence in Eastern European countries.
