New evidence of a huge military build-up within striking distance of Ukraine in preparation for a ‘nine-month war’ has emerged hours after US President Joe Biden said Russia‘s Vladimir Putin now ‘has to do something’.
Satellite images dated January 19 show a battlegroup deployed at Voronezh base around 200 miles (330km) from the Ukraine border with rows of tank artillery and support equipment massed at Yelnya, 77 miles (125km) from Russia’s border with Belarus.
Other images show military equipment gathered at two bases, Klintsky and Klimovo, that sit only 18 miles (30km) from the Belarusian frontier and no more than 31 miles (50km) from Russia’s border with Ukraine.
