Russia's military buildup near Ukraine has expanded to include blood supplies, which adds another piece of context to growing U.S. warnings that Russia could be preparing for a new invasion of Ukraine.
Ukraine's deputy defense minister Hanna Malyar denied the information.
On Friday, Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelenskyy criticized a"feeling abroad" that a war had already started."We don't need this panic," he told reporters in Kyiv. Russian officials have repeatedly denied planning to invade. But Moscow says it feels menaced by Kyiv's growing ties with the West. Russia's security demands, presented in December, include an end to further NATO enlargement, barring Ukraine from ever joining and pulling back the alliance's forces and weaponry from eastern European countries that joined after the Cold War.
