Concentration of troops at #Ukraines northern border looks very worrisome. Again, there are no designated training areas in southern #Belarus, no explanation for these deployments.

More and more columns spotted on the M4 highway in the Rostov region. This one reportedly from today.
In fact this was said by Andrei Purgin, a local politician and former separatist leader. Two other "separatist sources" said they did not expect a major military escalation until at least spring. 1/2

Not sure who is leaving here (maybe just the plane?). Liz Truss planned to arrive in Moscow today to meet Lavrov tomorrow. Ben Wallace about to meet Shoigu "end of this week" (couldn't find a specific date).

There will be no official delegation from #Russia at the largest international security forum, the Munich Conference on February 18-20. Last week it was already reported that neither Lavrov nor Putin will visit the conference.

Multiple people quickly found the location. Convoy is moving west, so likely end up on the E58 towards the border with #Ukraine.

Interesting video of likely the same convoy as in the video above. Looks like artillery is being unloaded somewhere in a field.
This is not a prediction of anything. But it's definitely an interesting few days with many possible outcomes.

Comment in a TankTok video says "Tanks being unloaded in a field near Taganrog". Just a comment but worth to watch:
