Russian military vehicles descend on Ukrainian border, don ‘invasion stripes’ | Fox News

More than 100,000 Russian troops in assault vehicles painted with “invasion stripes” were headed to Ukraine s border Wednesday, intensifying fears of war between the neighboring nations.

The advancing force includes 1,300 battle tanks, 3,700 drones, 1,300 artillery and mortar units and 380 multiple launch rocket systems, according to documents leaked to the Daily Mirror.

Tensions between the countries have been escalating following Russia s annexation of Ukraine s Crimea territory in 2014, an attempt by Moscow to keep NATO away from its borders. Ukraine is not a member of NATO, but support for the organization has risen in recent years, and the country is allied with many NATO nations including the U.S.
