On February 10, a large number of troops and equipment were seen in the Oktyabrskoye Crimea airfield.
Efforts to ease the crisis in Ukraine through the madness of telephone diplomacy so far failed to ease tensions, with US President Joe Biden warned that Russia faced “fast and severe costs” if the troops continued with the invasion. Some European countries are still in talks with Moscow, making diplomatic efforts to relieve tension.
Western leaders consider Russian troops to become the worst threat to continental security since the Cold War and have prepared a paralyzed economic sanctions package in responding to attacks on Ukraine – even though Moscow has said it has no plan.
In recent weeks, Ukraine has received a planeloads from military assistance from the NATO country allies to sustain its defenses. On Sunday, Ukraine received the first delivery of stinger anti-aircraft missiles.
