Russia Ukraine News: Russia may attack Ukraine during Olympics

 

US Secretary of State Antony Blinken said on Friday that Russia could attack Ukraine during the ongoing Winter Olympics in Beijing and that American citizens should leave the Eastern European country immediately. Blinken did not elaborate on the reasons behind the latest security alert from the State Department. "Simply put, we are seeing worrying signs of escalating tensions from the Russian side, including the arrival of new forces on the Ukrainian border," Blinken said in Melbourne, Australia.

The US Secretary of State said, "We are at a point where the attack can start at any time, and obviously this includes the time of the Olympics." The Olympic Games are to end on February 20. Russia has gathered more than a million troops near Ukraine and says it has no intention of attacking, but wants Western Ukraine and former Soviet countries out of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO).

'The alliance between Russia and China is worrying'

In this meeting between the foreign ministers of India, Japan, Australia and the US, the issue of attack on Ukraine and deepening relations between Russia and China was shadowed in this meeting, chaired by Australian Foreign Minister Morris Payne. He said the alliance between Russia and China "is worrying because it does not reflect a global order that favors aspirations for independence, openness, sovereignty and territorial integrity." Blinken had earlier said China in the Indo-Pacific. Confrontation cannot be avoided.

 

Blinken will also go on a trip to Fiji

Blinken's visit is aimed at bolstering US interests in Asia and countering China's growing aggression in the region. He will also visit Fiji and discuss serious concerns related to North Korea with his Japanese and South Korean counterparts in Hawaii. China has territorial disputes with several countries in the strategically important Indo-Pacific region and has been opposing the Quad alliance since its inception.
