Amidst the crisis brewing up, many countries have asked their diplomatic staff to leave Ukraine including their respective citizens. These countries are the US, Britain, Belgium, Bulgaria, Italy, Germany, Ireland, Estonia, Canada, Netherlands, Norway, Lithuania, Slovenia, Australia, Japan, Israel, Saudi Arabia and UAE.
Russia brushes off reports of the imminent Ukraine attack despite satellite images showing a massive gathering of troops near the border. Russia controls the Crimean territory annexed in 2014 and extends its backing to separatist groups controlling the East Donbas region.
In the past 48 hours, Moscow has spiked up its military personnel in Western Russia, Belarus and Crimea.
The latest satellite images also show the weapons of war which include more than 100,000 troops, offensive helicopters including fighter bomb jets in the region.
