Dusseldorf The Russian attacks in Ukraine may be on the verge of a new offensive: A massive military convoy 64 kilometers long is moving in northern Ukraine towards Kyiv, the US satellite company Maxar reported on Tuesday night. The convoy consists of tanks, armored vehicles and other military material.
According to Maxar, additional ground troops and combat helicopter units were also sighted in southern Belarus less than 32 kilometers north of the Ukrainian border. According to a report by the Interfax news agency, Russia is also moving troops from Russia’s far east closer to Europe.
In the past few weeks, Russia had massed more than 100,000 soldiers on the borders with Ukraine and started the invasion last week. However, the Russian advance was slow. This could change now. Here are the photos of the satellite company at a glance.
