KIEV, 28 November 2021, (TON): Hands on his machinegun, a Ukrainian soldier scans the grey steppe towards the positions of pro-Russian separatists in his country’s war-scarred east.
Ukrainian soldiers along the country’s eastern frontline say they are ready if Russia sends troops across the border Sergey VOLSKIY Ukrainian soldiers along the country’s eastern frontline say they are ready if Russia sends troops across the border.
The 21-year-old, who goes by the nom de guerre Zhura, says he is ready if Russian President Vladimir Putin decides to send troops across the border.
He says “I cannot rule out the possibility of the start of full-scale onslaught.”
Western governments and independent researchers say Moscow has been moving arms and troops towards the Ukrainian border in recent weeks, with Washington saying it has “real concerns” over the troop build-up.
If Russia decides to take action, Zhura says he and his battle-hardened compatriots will fight back.
“We will give a worthy response to the enemy.”
