100,000 More Russian Troops On Ukraine’s North Border: US

Washington:  Russia continues to build up its forces along the border with Ukraine and has now deployed “north of 100,000” troops, the Pentagon said Wednesday.
“We have continued to see even over the last 24 hours additional capabilities flow from elsewhere in Russia to that border with Ukraine and Belarus,” Pentagon spokesman John Kirby said.
“We’re not going to get into providing specific numbers but the numbers continue to grow,” he said.

Referring to Russian leader Vladimir Putin, Kirby said “we maintain that he’s north of 100,000 for sure.”
“And he continues to add to that capability,” he said. “We also see indications that additional battalion tactical groups are on their way.
