KYIV, Jan 26 (Reuters) - Ukraine has no objections to responses the United States will send to Russia as part of negotiations to avert a military escalation against Ukraine, Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba told a briefing on Wednesday.
Russia is expecting Washington to respond in writing to its proposals for sweeping security guarantees it wants from the West, including a block on Ukraine joining the transatlantic NATO alliance.
Kuleba also said Russia was trying to sow panic in Ukraine. It has not massed enough troops for a large scale offensive but that does not mean it could not do so later, said Kuleba, adding that the risks were high.
