RIVNE REGION, Ukraine: The crackle of gunfire and roar of armoured vehicles reverberated around sleepy west Ukrainian towns near the Belarusian border on Wednesday as Kyiv's forces trained for the threat of a fresh assault across a new front in the north.
Colonel Roman Voloschuk of the 104th Territorial Defence brigade sought to project an image of strength on the sidelines of military drills in three locations in Ukraine's northwest that the army asked not be disclosed for security reasons. "They will get their comeuppance ... we are waiting for them,” said Artur Horodniuk, a 28-year-old machine gunner.
Voloschuk said that any defence effort would be helped by the mild winter so far that has made the mud more watery and the river levels higher than usual. Many of his soldiers are battlehardened from last year's fighting.PRESSURE Local Ukrainian commanders said there were currently 15,000 Russian troops in Belarus at present - almost certainly too small to launch a major offensive.
Top general Valeriy Zaluzhnyi said in a December interview that Ukraine needed to prepare for a possible fresh Russian assault in the coming months that could come from the east, south or from Belarus.
