The military build-up has raised concerns in the west, with the US putting nearly 8,500 troops on alert ready to be deployed and NATO sending in reinforcements and putting forces on standby.
Russia has been moving thousands of its troops, armour, and artillery to the borders of Ukraine, amid fears that it may be readying for an invasion. The military build-up has raised concerns in the west, with the United States putting nearly 8,500 troops on alert ready to be deployed and NATO sending in reinforcements and putting forces on standby.
The expansion - witnessed in neighbouring Crimea and Belarus, a close Russian ally - includes not just troops but a heavy cache of arms, armour, and artillery, many of which were transported by train from faraway bases, according to media reports.
Satellite images by Maxar, accessed by NDTV, show Russian troops, tents and new deployments at the Brestsky training ground in Belarus.
The imagery also shows the deployment of a mobile short-range ballistic missile system Iskander produced and deployed by the Russian military in Belarus' Osipovichi training area.
