Ukraine continues to strengthen defenses along its eastern border, Reuters reports, but “there is no sign of a major troop buildup.”
Border defences have been strengthened by an anti-tank chicane of house-high concrete blocks, placed across the highway that links the Russian city of Rostov-on-Don and runs round the coast toward Crimea, 200 miles west. Apart from the border guards checking documents, there was no sign of armed activity… Small detachments of military trucks and a few armoured vehicles have been seen … but not large units.
