Ukraine | “Russia sends 4,000 troops to the border” – Dozens of tanks and helicopters flock to the area – VIDEO

Substantial footage showing Russian forces on the border of Russia with Ukraine has circulated on social media in the last few days, with reports speaking of preparations for war or a mere show of force. 

In particular, footage shows a phalanx of Russian armaments along a highway, accompanied by the police. The video shows weapon systems such as the BTR-80 and BTR-82 armored personnel carriers with turrets, some of which are painted in sand colour, trucks and D-30 towed howitzers as well as electronic warfare systems, most likely including the state-of-the-art “Leer-3” electronic warfare system, equipped with “Orlan-10” target reconnaissance and surveillance uav.

In addition, yesterday residents of the border areas of Russia videotaped the mass movement of attack helicopters. Social media users claim that the air force is heading towards Donbass.

In the last few years, eyewitnesses have frequently released videos of the movement of military equipment of the Ukrainian Armed Forces on the border of Donbass as well as in the territory of the Russian Federation. Also, a few days ago, another video showed a train with military equipment allegedly heading to Crimea.

The English Dailymail, in today’s article, reports that Russia is sending 4,000 troops to the border of Ukraine. The United States pledged its unwavering support for Ukraine yesterday, with defence officials saying they were aware of the thousands of troops that have recently been deployed in the separatist territory of Donbass, which is controlled by pro-Russian separatist forces and the Luhansk Democratic Republic.

“Huge lines of infantry fighting vehicles, left, and tanks, right, travelling down a highway towards the Ukrainian border. US officials estimate another 4,000 troops have been deployed by Russia”.
