This is due to the build-up of around 145,000 Russian soldiers around its borders, complete with tanks, artillery, and air support. As the fear of invasion hangs in the air in Kyiv, Moscow has denied any plans to invade as it carries out joint military drills with Belarus in the north of Ukraine, while bolstering its military presence on its border with Ukraine. However, interestingly, the Kremlin has also placed a list of demands expressing 'security concerns,' including a guarantee that Ukraine will never join NATO and the withdrawal of NATO troops and missiles from Eastern Europe.
