Russia continues to build up its forces along the border with Ukraine and has now deployed “north of 100,000” troops, the Pentagon said Wednesday.

“We have continued to see even over the last 24 hours additional capabilities flow from elsewhere in Russia to that border with Ukraine and Belarus,” Pentagon spokesman John Kirby said.

Meanwhile, Britain said on Thursday the West could face the “most dangerous moment” in its standoff with Moscow in the next few days, as Russia held military exercises in Belarus and the Black Sea following its troop build-up near Ukraine.

Tensions remained high, with Ukraine also staging war games.
