Ukraine in fear: Russia, with 120 thousand troops at its border, is also surrounding it from Belarus

Russia regularly restores and acumulates its military units to maintain tensions in the region, according to recent estimates.

But months of increased military capacities on Russia-Ukraine front have also alarmed Western officials.

CNN had reported last week that Russia had the ability to conduct a quick invasion.

Russian President Vladimir Putin has described the news that Russia would invade Ukraine as “provocation”.

Russia is pursuing a peaceful foreign policy. But she has the right to take care of her safety,” he spoke on television.

Meanwhile, recent reports say Russia is also gathering forces in Belarus, another country bordering Ukraine. /Periscope
