Washington. November 22. INTERFAX - The United States, when expressing alarm about the presence of Russian troops near Ukraine, is based not only on classified data, but also on information posted in the public domain, State Department spokesman Ned Price said on Monday.

"You can all see the reasons for our fears in the public domain. In addition, some of our data is classified," he said at a briefing.

Price repeated the idea that the US alarm is based on how the Russian Federation allegedly "acted in the past." He did not answer the journalist's question about what Washington's reaction would be in the event of an aggravation of the situation. "We don't want to announce our plans in advance," the State Department spokesman said.

On Sunday, it was reported that the head of the Main Intelligence Directorate (GUR) of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine, Kirill Budanov, claims that Russia allegedly concentrated more than 92 thousand troops near the borders of Ukraine and is preparing for an attack in late January or early February 2022, while estimates of the timing of this attack by the US and Ukrainian intelligence agencies almost coincide.

"Our estimates are almost the same as those of our American colleagues," Budanov said in an interview with the Military Times published on Sunday night.
