their barracks.

Senior US and Russian officials met for high-stakes talks in Geneva, Switzerland Monday to discuss tensions and growing fears that Russia may invade Ukraine.

The more than seven-hour meeting between US Deputy Secretary of State Wendy Sherman and Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergey Ryabkov came as Russia has built a significant force presence along the Ukrainian border in recent months.

US intelligence assessments of the situation have suggested that Russia might take aggressive military action against its neighbor "as soon as early 2022" with a force of as many as 175,000 troops. Russia is currently believed to have around 100,000 troops in various positions near the border.

After the meeting, Ryabkov told reporters at a press conference that "there is no reason to fear some kind of escalatory scenario," according to The New York Times. The Russian side reportedly told their American counterparts that Russia has no plan to invade Ukraine.

3. 1. Since I don't know anything about geopolitics, but how about this.

Ukraine becomes a buffer zone. It does not join NATO and NATO doesn't put any troops in Ukraine. It is allowed defensive weapons worked out in an agreement. Russia, Ukraine, and Belarus only put token forces near their borders also worked out in an agreement. NATO does not trust Russia for good reasons, but Russia also has good reason not to trust NATO. Does anyone have a better solution to avoid a war?
