President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said Ukraine's armed forces were capable of fighting off any attack from Russia as the country marked its national army day on Monday with a display of U.S. armoured vehicles and patrol boats. Ukraine has accused Russia of massing tens of thousands of troops near its border in preparation for a possible large-scale military offensive, raising the prospect of open war between the two neighbours. Russia has dismissed talk of a new assault on Ukraine as false and inflammatory, but told the West not to cross its “red lines“ and to halt the eastward expansion of the NATO alliance.
