Russia Accuses Ukraine of Troop Build-Up

The announcements came at a time of high tension between the two countries

Newsroom December 1 12:19

Russia accused Ukraine on Wednesday of deploying half its army to confront pro-Russian separatists in the east of the country, and said it had launched its own regular winter drills in its southern military district bordering Ukraine.

The announcements came at a time of high tension between the two countries, with NATO meeting for the second day to discuss a Russian troop build-up that Kyiv fears may be a prelude to an invasion. Moscow has consistently denied that, and sought to portray Ukraine and NATO as the aggressors.
