Daily activities by Russian troops on their national territory pose no threat to U.S., OSCE countries - Russian Foreign Ministry

MOSCOW. April 9 (Interfax) - Russia is not conducting any unusual or unplanned military activities on its territory in the area of the Ukrainian border, the Russian Foreign Ministry said.

"The U.S. and Ukraine have no reasons for concerns. Russia has said many times that it is not conducting any unusual or unplanned activities significant in terms of military issues on its territory in the area of the Ukrainian border," the Russian Foreign Ministry said in a commentary posted on its website.

"The daily activities by the Russian troops on its national territory do not threaten the security of the U.S. and other OSCE countries. The attempts to accuse Russia of beefing up its armed forces are groundless," the ministry said.
