The United States has weighed in on Russia’s claim that Moscow is moving troops away from the border with Ukraine

According to a senior US official, the claims by the Kremlin that some troops had begun being “pulled back” from the border, is fake.

The official added that 7,000 extra troops have arrived in recent days.

The United States has intelligence that suggests that Russia could launch a “false” pretext to invade Ukraine “at any moment”.

Moscow says it is moving troops away from the Ukrainian border after the completion of military exercises.

But Western officials say they have seen no evidence to support the claim.

“Russia must take real steps toward de-escalation,”
US President Joe Biden and German Chancellor Olaf Scholz agreed in a phone call on Wednesday, according to the German chancellery.

Russian President Putin has repeatedly denied planning to invade Ukraine, despite having amassed well over 100,000 troops near the border.

Russia has called Western concern over an invasion “hysteria”.

Its defence ministry has published images purportedly showing troops and equipment returning to their permanent bases after military exercises.

But according to a senior White House official, thousands more troops have arrived in the area in recent days – including some on Wednesday itself.

American home prices are rising at faster pace now than in the last 20-years.

A recent analysis reveals a jaw dropping surge in the cost of American homes.

Since the start of 2020, U.S. home prices have surged 47% easily outstripping the gains seen in recent decades.

On top of that, home price growth so far this decade is on the verge of surpassing all the growth seen in the 2000s.

Many experts believe this decade’s housing market frenzy was ignited by a perfect storm — the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic triggering an unprecedented rush among buyers.

Tom Hutchens, the Executive Vice President of Production at Angel Oak Mortgage Solutions joins Veronica Dudo to discuss.
