NATO chief: Russia continuing military build-up near Ukraine
"We have heard the signs from Moscow about readiness to continue diplomatic efforts, but so far, we have not seen any de-escalation on the ground. On the contrary, it appears that Russia continues their military build-up," Jens Stoltenberg said Wednesday ahead of a meeting of NATO defence ministers.

"On the contrary, it appears that Russia continues the military build-up," Stoltenberg told reporters. "What we see is that they have increased the number of troops and more troops are on their way."
NATO will continue to monitor the situation and push for diplomacy, he said.
