Russia has sizeable forces at Ukraine border, says NATO

(AGI) Brussels, March 23 - Russia has amassed enough forces on Ukraine's border to pose a threat to the disputed region of Transnistria, NATO's top military commander said on Sunday.

"The (Russian) force that is at the Ukrainian border now to the east is very, very sizeable and very, very ready," NATO's Supreme Allied Commander Europe, U.S. Air Force General Philip Breedlove, told an event held by the German Marshall Fund think tank. "There is absolutely sufficient (Russian) force postured on the eastern border of Ukraine to run to Transnistria if the decision was made to do that and that is very worrisome. Russia is acting much more like an adversary than a partner," he said.
