Ukraine: Fear as Russian miles-long military convoy heads towards eastern Ukraine
Retired Gen. David Petraeus, the former CIA director and commander of Central Command who also oversaw the war in Afghanistan until 2010, said that Ukrainians can expect “quite a fight” as Russian forces are preparing for a “massive breakthrough” in eastern Ukraine.
Satellite images collected and analyzed by Maxar Technologies show an eight-mile-long military convoy moving south through the eastern Ukraine town of Velkyi Burluk on April 8.
The town sits to the east of Kharkiv, close to Ukraine’s border with Russia.
Ukrainian officials say major fighting is underway in the east of the country, with heavy shelling reported throughout the Donbas region, ahead of what they are warning may be a major Russian offensive.
Ukraine’s defense intelligence chief on Friday told CNN that Russian troops are regrouping across the border and plan to advance toward Kharkiv.
Officials have urged the evacuation of civilians from the region, as Russian forces shift focus to southern and eastern Ukraine.
