Oh, for sure the US has lied plenty. I just didn’t want to get an article from the Russian government or a mouthpiece. It gets tiresome dealing with transparent propaganda sources.
There really isn’t any massive military build up that I’m aware of. Russia has simply been conducting military exercises, and the point of these exercises is to put pressure on NATO. What Russia is saying is that if there was a serious consideration to admit Ukraine to NATO, then that would be a cause of them to attack Ukraine. This is a game of chicken Russia and NATO are playing, and that Russia is currently winning.
It’s pretty clear that Russia is in a much better position than NATO here. Europe depends on Russia for around 40% of its energy, and there is no credible alternative to that. Russia also has a far bigger military force that it would be able to deploy than NATO. Russia has also become sanction proof, even financial times admits this now. On top of that, Russia is also allied with China creating a huge economic bloc that Europe is entirely dependent on. Europe already does more trade with China than US at this point. European leaders clearly understand this, hence why there are direct negotiations are now happening between Russia, France, and Germany.
And again, Russia has no interest in invading Ukraine. They want Ukraine to be a neutral country the way it was before NATO did a color revolution there.

Could you cite this? A quick search shows that Russia has leveled that accusation, but Russia often lies (remember the “little green men”?)

They aren’t, NATO is. Western news media are lying yet again to build support for a war, and predictably people are buying it hook-line-and-sinker.
