Ukrainian officials said on Wednesday they fear renewal of hostilities in the east after a NATO warning that Russia has been bringing in heavy military hardware to rebel-controlled areas.
Western journalists and monitors from the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe have observed several such convoys transporting tanks, Grad multiple-launch missile systems, howitzers and anti-aircraft guns in recent days.
The artillery has been moved in, seemingly with no attempts to hide it. Soldiers without insignia on their uniforms have hauled in columns of weaponry in broad daylight, driving along major highways and through city centers in mostly unmarked trucks.
