Top US General Mark Milley says the build-up of Russian troops is the largest since the Cold War.
The warnings from the Pentagon come after Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky told reporters not to create panic over the build-up of Russian troops on his country's borders.
"There are signals even from respected leaders of states, they just say that tomorrow there will be war. This is panic - how much does it cost for our state?" On the other hand, he wasn't contradicting the US intelligence: "I can see the 100,000 soldiers," he eventually clarified. But he went from hinting that Russia was simply scaremongering, getting a "sado-masochistic" pleasure from seeing Kyiv sweat, to admitting that Ukraine was preparing for the possibility of all-out war.
