NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg claimed that there were no signs of 'de-escalation on the ground' amid tensions at the Russia-Ukraine border, during a press briefing in Brussels on Tuesday.
"There are signs from Moscow that diplomacy should continue. This gives grounds for cautious optimism. But so far we have not seen any sign of de-escalation on the ground," he said.
Russia has consistently denied claims it is amassing troops on the border with the intention of launching an invasion of Ukraine.
On Saturday, Russian presidential aide Yury Ushakov said that the media were spreading "false information about Russian intentions."
