RUSSIA said yesterday it had started military exercises near the border with Ukraine, in what is likely to be seen as a show of force in the standoff with Kiev and the West over Crimea.
The Defense Ministry confirmed exercises had begun in the Southern Military District, involving 8,500 men, after pictures appeared online showing military vehicles on the move in the area.
The exercise includes a large number of artillery and multiple-rocket launchers, the defense ministry said on its website. Also involved are howitzers, self-propelled artillery and anti-tank guns.
