According To US Sources, Russia Is 70% Ready To Invade

Late last month, Russian forces conducted training in the Rostov region.

According to US authorities, Russia has gathered roughly 70% of the military capacity required for a full-scale invasion of Ukraine in the next weeks.

From mid-February onwards, the ground is likely to freeze and solidify, allowing Moscow to bring in more heavy equipment, according to the unidentified officials.

Russia is estimated to have over 100,000 troops near Ukraine's borders, but the country denies any plans to attack.

The US officials did not present any evidence to back up their claims.

According to US media reports, they stated that the information was based on intelligence but that they were unable to provide specifics owing to the sensitivity of the material.

Officials also stated that they did not know if Russian President Vladimir Putin had made such a decision, but that a diplomatic solution was still feasible.

Weather conditions would allow a peak window for Russia to move equipment forward between around 15 February and the end of March, two US officials told Reuters on condition of anonymity.

Officials have warned that a Russian invasion of Ukraine may result in up to 50,000 civilian deaths, according to sources. They also predicted that if Ukraine's capital, Kyiv, was attacked, it would fall within days, resulting in a refugee crisis.

As part of a fresh deployment to reinforce the Western military alliance Nato's forces in the region, more US troops are coming in Poland.

On Saturday, the first group arrived in Rzeszow, in the country's south-east. The Biden administration recently announced that almost 3,000 extra troops would be sent to Eastern Europe.

Moscow claims its forces are in the region for military exercises, but Ukraine and its Western allies fear the Kremlin is planning an attack.

Russia grabbed Ukraine's southern Crimea peninsula and sponsored a deadly rebellion in Ukraine's eastern Donbas area over eight years ago, causing tensions.
