CCTV News Client News On the evening of the 20th local time, European Commission President von der Leyen revealed some specific sanctions that Russia will suffer if it “invades” Ukraine.

The United States, Ukraine and NATO allege that Russia has assembled a large number of troops near the eastern border of Ukraine and has the potential of “invasion”. Russia denies it, emphasizing that NATO activities threaten Russia’s border security, and Russia has the right to mobilize troops within its borders to defend its territory.
