Russia's Military Buildup Near Ukraine Continues

 

Daily Mail: Putin moves his elite paratroopers to Ukrainian border in Belarus in yet ANOTHER troop build-up amid invasion fears - while US sends Kiev 300 lethal Javelin anti-tank weapons and warns Russia is planning to go in by mid-February 

* Video footage has emerged appearing to show Russian paratroopers and equipment headed for the border 

* Russian tanks, trucks, military equipment and unit carriages were spotted loaded on a southwest bound train 

* US has shipped 300 Javelin anti-tank missiles to Ukraine, latest part of a $200million military aid package 

* Javelins are infrared guided missiles, designed to fly high into the air before slamming down on their targets -making them especially deadly against tanks because armour is thinnest on the top 

* Ukraine has also been sent American Stinger anti-aircraft missiles and British-made NLAW anti-tank weapons 

* Weapons are designed to inflict punishing losses on Putin's forces so he thinks twice about plans to invade 

Russia has for the first time moved elite paratroopers close to its border with Ukraine amid fears of a military operation to grab capital Kiev. 

A train with the crack troops and their equipment was spotted moving west towards the potential war zone and appears to be the 217th Guards Parachute Regiment of the 98th Airborne Division. 

The deployment was seen passing through Russia's Bryansk region which borders both Ukraine and Belarus, as shown in a video posted on TikTok.
