In europe. so far it failed. russia has 100,000 troops near ukraine risking outright invasion. demanding ukraine and other nations not become members of nato and the u.s. led alliance pull back its troops and arms farther from the russian borders. russian deputy foreign minister sergei in talks with deputy secretary of state wendy shrm repeated the demands. we underscore for us it s absolutely mandatory to make sure that ukraine never, never ever becomes a member of nato. those demands are a nonstarter for the united states, it tried to steer the talks to military exercises and arms control but couldn t get around to diplomat particular stumbling blocks. we ll not, for example, allow anyone to slam close nato s open door policy. russia denied it intends to invade ukraine but did not specify unnamed security problems for the fuss their demands weren t met. the u.s. just wants those russian troops rolled back. ....
