He said the matter also poses a security threat to international peace and security. PM said the unrest would lead to unprecedented complications for the transnational community. "The world can ill-afford armed conflict during this time of global tension, which will result in adverse social & economic consequences," said the Prime Minister. PM added, "Dominica calls for a de-escalation conversation to reduce tensions and achieve a nonviolent resolution to the dispute, as well as the mapping out of a path to peace for the sake of the safety and security of the people,". Tensions at Russia-Ukraine Border Alarm bells have been ringing all around Europe in recent months due to a buildup of the Russian army along Ukraine's border. The global community is worried that Russian President Vladimir Putin is planning a repeat of the events of 2014 when Russian forces grabbed the Crimean peninsula and backed a separatist, pro-Russian insurgency in eastern Ukraine's Donbas region. US President Joe Biden Biden indicated that any military move would be treated with caution and that Western nations were falling behind on how to respond to what he called a "small invasion," frightening Ukrainian leaders before the White House began retracting his comments. The British Foreign Office said on Monday that some of its diplomatic workers and their families would be leaving Kyiv.
