The latest satellite images provided by the US space technology company Maxar show that wide-scale Russian military activity persists close to Ukraine's borders, despite recent Russian claims of de-escalation and withdrawal.
Taken in mid-February, they illustrate that Ukraine remains surrounded on three sides - on its borders with both Russia and Belarus - by Russian military hardware and troop concentrations.

Of particular concern is the presence of a new field hospital, at some distance to the rear at the Osipovichi training area in north-western Belarus.
While this could be a legitimate part of any large scale field exercise it could also be an indication of expected battle casualties from an imminent conflict.
Other troop concentrations and activity are considerably closer to Ukraine's borders.
