at the border, Russian troops deploy

On the border between Ukraine and Russia, it is a very special convoy that passes. Military fuel transport vehicles, de troops, relief, and even armored vehicles escorted by the police in the middle of traffic. They are visible 200 km from Moscow, a sign that the Russian army continues to deploy on the Ukrainian border. About 100,000 Russian soldiers would be massed there. They established their base in various places near the border, such as an old abandoned ammunition storage or in an old airfield.

In Klimovo (Russia), 12 km from the border, residents have noticed the permanent parade of military vehicles at the end of their street. Most of them have family across the border in Ukraine, but no one is preparing for conflict. They stick to the official Russian version. “Putin won’t attack, he will defend himself, but he won’t attack“, thinks this resident interviewed by the special correspondent Luc Lacroix.
