New satellite images captured by a private US company show that Russia continues to build up its forces in annexed Crimea and near Ukraine in recent weeks
US-based Maxar Technologies cited increased activity at three sites in Crimea and at five sites in western Russia with satellite images taken over the course of the last few months.
The images by Maxar Technologies released late on Thursday showed a base in Crimea packed with hundreds of armoured vehicles and tanks as of December 13. "Over the past month, our high-resolution satellite imagery has observed a number of new Russian deployments in Crimea as well as in several training areas in western Russia along the periphery of the Ukraine border," Maxar said in a statement.
When asked on Friday about the build-up of Russian troops near Ukraine, Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov said Moscow was acting to defend its own security. Other pictures showed continuing build-ups at Yelnya, a Russian town around 260 kilometres north of the Ukrainian border, and at the Pogonovo training ground near the southern Russian city of Voronezh.The images released showed a base in Crimea packed with hundreds of armoured vehicles and tanks as of December 13, the same base that was half empty in October.
