Car blown up in explosion near govt building in Donetsk, say Russian media reports

Russia Ukraine Crisis Live: An estimated 40% to 50% of Russian ground forces deployed in the vicinity of the Ukrainian border have moved into attack positions nearer the border, said a US defense official, pointing this out as a further indication that the Russians are preparing for a potential invasion.
Satellite imagery taken this week shows military activity in multiple locations across Belarus, the annexed Crimea region of Ukraine and western Russia near Ukraine’s border. US-based Maxar Technologies, which has been tracking the buildup of Russian forces for weeks, said the images show recent helicopter deployments, consing of both troop transport and ground attack helicopters, at multiple locations close to the border. They also show additional ground attack aircraft, air defense units and drone equipment have been deployed, it said.
Russia’s Vladimir Putin has decided to invade Ukraine within days, US President Joe Biden said Friday after separats backed Moscow told civilians to leave breakaway regions on buses, a move the West fears is part of a pretext for an attack. The US now estimates that Russia probably has amassed between 1,69,000 and 1,90,000 personnel in and near Ukraine.
