UKRAINE 2 MARCH 2021

It was reported in the newspapers on 2 April that some 4,000 Russian troops had been deployed to the Russian side of the Ukrainian border, next to the two Ukrainian regions in which a war has been continuing since 2014 with some 15,000 dead so far.

After Crimea was annexed and made part of Russia in 2014, pro-Russian fighters in Donetsk and Luhansk started a war against the government of Ukraine with backing from Russia.   Russian intentions behind this troop deployment are unclear but both Ukraine and the USA have been asking Russia unsuccessfully for clarification of its position.
