@ccdcoe This week, various outlets reported the continued troop and equipment build up along #Ukraine’s borders with #Belarus and #Russia. Newly released satellite images show that some Russian field camps are now within 20 miles of the border. edition.cnn.com/2022/02/06/eur…
@ccdcoe Along with the buildup in #Belarus, the surge of military assets near the #Russia-#Ukraine continues to accelerate. Satellite imagery and #geolocation have shown assets in #Kursk, #Belgorod, and #Bryansk- as close as 20 km to the border.

@ccdcoe Belarusian President Lukashenka stated on-air that he believes Washington is pushing #Ukraine to war and that if #Kyiv starts a war against #Russia or #Belarus, “We will go to war defending ourselves.” He also supported the restoration of the Soviet Union. president.gov.by/ru/events/inte…
@ccdcoe Belarusian officials announced the interception of an alleged Ukrainian drone flying over Belarusian territory to carry out recon on the Russian army at Brest's military training ground. Ukraine does not possess the specific drone shot down in its arsenal. theins.ru/antifake/24834…
@ccdcoe A retired Russian officer said there are no “critical threats that endanger Russia’s sovereignty and its vital interests.” Leonid Ivashov noted @NATO was not demonstrating threatening activity. Independent and pro-western media widely covered the statement.svoboda.org/a/natsional-pa…
@ccdcoe @NATO .@Bloomberg apologized for accidentally publishing an article titled: “Russia Invades Ukraine.” The news agency explained it was a publishing error and that they “prepare headlines for many scenarios.” Pro-#Kremlin media slammed the outlet for the error. bloomberg.com/news/articles/…
@ccdcoe @NATO @Bloomberg On Friday, @YouTube banned severely channels belonging to the defacto separatist authorities in #Donetsk and #Luhansk. #YouTube also banned pro-Kremlin channels in Ukraine associated with a pro-Kremlin Ukrainian magnate and member off parliament.
@ccdcoe @NATO @Bloomberg @YouTube Two pro-#Kremlin @telegram channels spread falsehoods about #Kyiv’s mayor and the US abandoning #Ukraine. While the first post about Kyiv’s mayor drafting people with military experience came with a disclaimer, another pro-#Russia channel posted that it had confirmed the info.
@ccdcoe @NATO @Bloomberg @YouTube @telegram A pro-Russian Ukrainian member of parliament, claimed on his Facebook that people are moving their families either abroad or to Western #Ukraine in fear of an invasion. Other fringe messages were amplified by #Kremlin-tied media outlets and serve as tools for spreading panic.
@ccdcoe @NATO @Bloomberg @YouTube @telegram The secretary of #Ukraine’s National Security and Defense Council argued that #Hungary had vetoed their accession to @ccdcoe. This decision follows a massive cyber attack, attributed to #Russia, that targeted Ukrainian government websites in January. kyivpost.com/ukraine-politi…
