Ukraine tensions: US trying to draw Russia into war, Putin says
Russia's President Vladimir Putin has accused the US of trying to draw his country into a war in Ukraine.
He said America's goal was to use a confrontation as a pretext to impose more sanctions on Russia.
Mr Putin also said the US was ignoring Russia's concerns about Nato alliance forces in Europe.
The US and its Nato alliance partners accuse Russia of planning an invasion of Ukraine, something Russia has repeatedly denied.
