20:47 Russia is accumulating armed forces by the land borders with Ukraine – such actions can be proof of Russia preparing to invade, writes ZN.ua.
The National Border Control Service of Ukraine observes accumulation of artillery on the territory of the Russian Federation near the national border within the Kharkiv, Lugansk, Donyetsk regions.
Thus, across from the Kharkiv border control lot:
- on the railway station Lesniki of Voronezh region of the Russian federation, 9 echelons of artillery (armoured personnel carriers, infantry fighting vehicles) have arrived, which have unloaded on the territory of the organic unit number 63796 (the artillery that is located near the village of Liski);
- on the border between the departments “Pletenevka” and “Oktyabrskoye” in the “Bochkovo-Leninskoe” direction within 1,5-2 kilometres into Russia from the border, there are 5 armoured personnel carriers, 2 “Ural” automobiles and a field kitchen. The border police of the Russian federation are blocking movement of locals in this direction.
Across from the Donyetsk border control lot:
- department of the FSS of the Russian Federation “Veselo-Voznesenovka” have been alerted;
- at the checkpoint “Veselo-Voznesenovka – Novoazovsk” no vehicles with Russian registration are allowed across the border to Ukraine.
Across from the Lugansk border control lot:
- locals in the direction of Millerovo-Diakovo within 3-4 kilometres of the national border are observing accumulation of artillery vehicles;

Meanwhile, according to the General Consulate of Ukraine in Rostov-on-the-Don, the governor of the Rostov region of the Russian Federation has given orders about the establishment of refugee camps in Kuibyshev region.
Such actions of the government representatives in Russia can be testament to the fact that Russia is preparing a possible invasion on the Ukrainian territory on land. - pravda.com.ua
