RUSSIA HAS OVER 92,000 TROOPS MASSED AROUND UKRAINE'S BORDERS AND HAS BEEN
PREPARING FOR AN ATTACK BY THE END OF JANUARY OR BEGINNING OF FEBRUARY,
ACCORDING TO MEDIA REPORTS.

Russian-backed forces in the Donbass region of eastern Ukraine have fought
Ukrainian troops in a conflict that Kiev says has killed 14,000 people since
2014. (Reuters)

Ukraine has said Russian-controlled forces in eastern Ukraine have been
increasing their activity and have carried out large-scale exercises in the
occupied regions.

Russia is "increasing the combat readiness of the Russian occupation forces in
the temporarily occupied territory in Donetsk and Luhansk regions," the
intelligence directorate of Ukraine's Defence Ministry said in a statement on
Tuesday.

The exercises that began on Monday include mobilised combat reservists, it said.

Kiev and NATO countries have expressed concern that Russian troop movements near
Ukraine's borders could pave the way for a sharp military escalation. 

Russia says it has no such plans and has accused Ukraine and the United States
of stoking tensions.

Impending crisis

US officials said the Russian movements point towards a building crisis.

They said Washington hopes to avert conflict by building international consensus
about the threat, raising the possibility of potential sanctions should Moscow
decide to act.

The head of Ukraine's military intelligence told the Military Times outlet this
weekend that Russia had more than 92,000 troops massed around Ukraine's borders
and was preparing for an attack by the end of January or beginning of February.
