Germany, Russia seeking to 'provoke' in Ukraine conflict
Berlin says "we won't be drawn into this game"

(ANSA-AFP) - BERLIN, APR 14 - Germany on Wednesday accused
Russia of seeking provocation with its troop build-up along the
border with Ukraine. "My impression is that the Russian side is
trying everything to provoke a reaction," German Defence
Minister Annegret Kramp-Karrenbauer told ARD public television.
"Together with Ukraine, we won't be drawn into this game," she added. The growing Russian presence at the Ukrainian border has caused concern in the West in recent days, with the United States saying that troop levels are at their highest since 2014, when war first broke out with Moscow-backed separatists.
