15th, which is something that russia denies. prism biden's warning comes as russian and bella russian troops begin at joint military drills. moto estimates that $30000.00 russian soldiers are taking part the largest deployments, the ex soviet state. since the cold war western powers further drills could be used as an opportunity to attack ukraine, said lawson reports on the belly, russian capital mintz. russia flexing its military muscle, just 50 kilometers from the bela roshan border with ukraine. 4 weeks truce have been arriving even from russia as far east than 1000 kilometers away. it is clear that is as far bigger than previous military exercises. russian officials have not disclosed a number of soldiers. info. nato speaks of 30000. if you consider that an invasion of large territory like ukraine is importance in to has
