Russia is “ratcheting up” its military presence on the Ukrainian border which is “following a similar pattern” to when the Putin government annexed Crimea in 2014, according to former Pentagon advisor Jason Israel.

The Ukrainian government has accused Russia of increased buildup on their disputed border, which has sparked concerns from the west of conflict between the two nations. Mr Israel told Sky News Russia was “following a similar pattern” to when it annexed Crimea, but the international community has continued to ask the Russian president to “back off”.

He said Putin also supports Russian separatists within Ukraine “covertly” which could be used to flame unrest within the political and military communities. “Any time that President Putin would like for there to be more conflict in Ukraine, it could sort of increase the amount of support to Russian separatists causing the Ukraine to have a military response causing Russia to build up the military border.
