Reuters news agency, has quoted several witnesses as saying they have seen Su-27 and Su-30 flyers arrive at Belbeck Air Base today.

Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said Ukraine is preparing a <x0-provocation” in this area before this year's end. Kiev on the other side, has accused Moscow of increasing its military presence near the border between the two states.
