British Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab says London is seriously concerned about the buildup of Russian forces near Ukraine's border.

"We have significant concerns about the recent Russian military buildup of forces on Ukraine's border," Raab told lawmakers on Tuesday, Reuters reported.

According to him, the UK is currently working to deter Russia from further aggression.

"We are working with our allies, and our objective is to deter Russia, reassure Ukraine and to de-escalate the situation," Raab said.

As Ukrinform reported, on Monday, April 19, the U.S. Department of Defense confirmed that Russia continued a military buildup near Ukraine's border and in occupied Crimea.
