For the not known, tensions in Ukraine have arisen in recent months, with Russia and NATO accusing each other of amassing troops on the Russian-Ukrainian border.
The United States and Ukraine have accused Russia multiple times of planning to invade.
However, Moscow has continued to deny such accusations and has repeatedly maintained that it has no intention of invading Ukraine.
