New satellite images show advanced Russian military deployments in Belarus
The
deployments are likely linked to joint exercises between Russian and Belarus
forces that are due to begin on Thursday. However, other photographs show camps
being established close to the border with Ukraine, hundreds of miles from
where the exercises are taking place.
Russia
has repeatedly denied it is planning to
attack Ukraine, despite Moscow's massive troop buildup
in the region. The Kremlin is believed to have assembled 70% of the military
personnel and weapons on Ukraine's borders that Russia would need for a
full-scale invasion, according to two US officials
familiar with Washington's latest intelligence estimates. However, it is unclear
how long it would take Russian forces to ramp up
further, or if they would need full capabilities in order to invade.
The
images from Maxar -- taken Saturday -- are consistent with
recently posted social media videos showing Russian forces moving through Belarus and creating field camps within 20
miles of the Ukrainian border.
Some
of the imagery shows Belarus' Luninets airfield, where Russian fighter jets
have deployed ahead of the exercises, dubbed Union
Resolve 2022. Photographs show Russian S-400 air defense systems and Su-25
attack aircraft at the airfield. The Russian Defense Ministry released video on
Saturday of the arrival of the planes at Luninets.
