British Defense Secretary Phillip Hammond was at the Pentagon yesterday. He was asked about the Russian Defense Minister’s recent remark to US Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel that Russia has no intention of invading Ukraine. Hagel says the size of the Russian troop buildup makes him skeptical and Hammond says it’s not at all certain the Russian Defense Secretary knows what Pres. Putin’s intentions are.
