The head of Ukraine’s military intelligence Kyrylo Budanov said in an interview that Russia is preparing for an attack by the end of January or beginning of February. He said such an attack would likely involve air strikes.
The United States, NATO and Ukrainian officials have been making statements for nearly two weeks, referring to what they say are unusual Russian troop movements in the proximity of Ukraine.
After an uptick in violence in early 2021, Russia has moved swaths of troops on Ukraine’s borders in the spring, raising fears of a major escalation. NATO said there has been an “unusual concentration” of Russian forces along the border.
According to estimates, 100,000 Russian troops have massed near Ukraine’s border near Donets. A satellite image, released by Maxar Technologies, shows hundreds of Russian tanks and armoured vehicles near the Ukrainian border.
Experts have said the build-up could be a prelude to another Russian invasion. However, the officials of the United States have declined to say whether they believe Russian President Vladimir Putin is aiming to again seize Ukrainian land.
