Exclusive: “We are not saying that we are about to invade,” says the Russian Ambassador

The Russian Ambassador to Australia, Dr Alexey Pavlovskydenies, denies any plans to invade Ukraine

Although, Russian Priminister Vladimir Putin, says that Donetsk and Luhansk are independent.

This has sparked concerns that a full-scale war may begin.

Journalist Ben Arvis, says that the crisis is beginning to dangerously escalate.

“This crisis is now starting to reach the scale of the Cuban Missile Crisis,”

he says.

In an exclusive interview with Ticker News, News Anchor Holly Stearnes, spoke to Dr Pavlovsky, about the border tensions with Russia and Ukraine.

There are reports the United States has intelligence to suggest Moscow has given the order to attack Ukraine.

This intelligence follows earlier comments from Joe Biden indicating Putin has decided to stage a war.

It is being cautioned that the orders could always be withdrawn, or it could also be a case of misinformation designed to mislead the West.

Should we be concerned?

Earlier, the US Secretary of state Antony Blinken says the extension of Russian military drills in Belarus made him more worried about an imminent invasion of Ukraine.

Stearns asked Dr Pavlovsky if he should be worried?

In response, he said Russia has been witnessing many predictions of a so-called imminent Russian invasion of Ukraine, yet it has been proved false so far. 

“By now, everybody should know better than to believe information based on US intelligence,”

he tells ticker news.

Dr Alexey Pavlovsky says Russian troops are not on Ukraine’s border.

“I wonder what we should do to make NATO comfortable… should we fly to the moon or what?” 

One reality on what’s going on in the Russian territory is the planned military drills, which have been tailored according to a rather tense international situation,”

he says.

Pope Francis, aged 88, dies from double pneumonia, leaving a legacy of compassion and inclusion as the Church’s first Latin American and Jesuit leader.


Pope Francis has died at the age of 88, following complications from double pneumonia. The Vatican confirmed his death on Monday morning, with Cardinal Kevin Farrell announcing that “the Bishop of Rome, Francis, returned to the home of the Father” at 7:35am.

The first Latin American and Jesuit Pope, Francis led the Roman Catholic Church for over a decade, earning global praise for his humility, progressive stance, and focus on inclusion and compassion.

Just days before his passing, the Pope surprised crowds at Easter Sunday Mass, blessing worshippers in St Peter’s Square. Despite recent hospitalisation with bronchitis, he appeared in good spirits, even pausing to bless children from the Popemobile.

His death has triggered nine days of mourning in Italy. Leaders around the world have paid tribute. Prime Minister Anthony Albanese called him a man “whose compassion embraced all humanity,” while Opposition Leader Peter Dutton described his devotion as unwavering.

Francis will be remembered not only as a man of many firsts — the first Jesuit Pope, the first from the Global South — but also as a tireless advocate for the poor, refugees, and marginalised communities.
