Ukraine turned to the Russian Federation with a request for clarification on the military activities of the Russian Federation in areas adjacent to the territory of Ukraine, as well as in the temporarily occupied Crimea.
About it on my Twitter page wrote Minister of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine Dmitry Kuleba.
48 hours to reply
“We have officially applied the danger reduction mechanism – in accordance with Section III of the Vienna Document – and have requested the Russian Federation to provide detailed clarifications on military activities in areas adjacent to the territory of Ukraine and in the temporarily occupied Crimea,” he said.
According to the minister, according to the provisions of the Vienna Document, Russia must provide the exact areas for conducting military activities, indicate the date of its completion, as well as the name, subordination, and number of military formations.

“Russia has 48 hours to respond. In case of its absence or provision of insufficient information, Ukraine will turn to the Russian Federation and other states parties to the Vienna Document to convene a meeting at which the Russian Federation will have to provide an explanation,” Kuleba wrote.

What is the Vienna Document
The Vienna Document is an international agreement between the member states of the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) designed to implement confidence- and security-building measures in the region.
Among the provisions of the document are the annual exchange of military information about the forces located on the territories of the participating countries, military communications to reduce risk, including consultations on unusual military activities and dangerous incidents, preliminary reports on certain types of military activities, observation of certain types of military activities and etc.
Russian invasion threat
Near the borders of Ukraine, Russia has deployed an army of about 100,000. On February 3, the New York Times and the Washington Post reported that Russia could use the video to accuse Ukraine of “genocide of the Russian-speaking population” and use outrage over the video to justify its invasion. Another version of events is for the leaders of the militants in the Donbass to “urge Moscow to intervene.”
President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky explained why Putin gathered a 100,000-strong army near Ukraine. He also spoke about security within the state and at its borders.
Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba said that Russia will not be able to defeat Ukraine with brute force and will resort to other methods. For example, it will use provocations, sow panic, destroy the economy of our state.
Recall, the head of the Conflict Intelligence Team, Kirill Mikhailov, said that Russia continues to concentrate heavy military equipment tens of kilometers from the border with Ukraine.
