Russia ‘repositioning’ in Ukraine’s eastern Donbas region: US

WASHINGTON, 12 April 2022, (TON): The United States has said “it believes Russia is reinforcing and repositioning its troops in Ukraine’s eastern region of Donbas, where Ukrainian officials say Russian forces are preparing to launch a fresh offensive.”

In a news conference, Pentagon Press Secretary John Kirby said a convoy of Russian vehicles had been observed heading towards the town of Izyum, about 180km (112 miles) north of the city of Donetsk.

Kirby told reporters “But it’s not clear to us how many vehicles are in this convoy and what exactly they’re bringing.”

He added that it appeared to be a mix of personnel-carrying vehicles as well as armoured vehicles “and maybe some artillery”.

He said “they’re repositioning, they’re refocusing on the Donbas.”
