Kiev on Wednesday said a massive convoy of tanks and heavy weapons from Russia was travelling towards a government-held town in restive east Ukraine.
A convoy of "up to 100" tanks, armoured vehicles and rocket launchers was seen travelling on a road toward Telmanove, a town about 50 miles south of rebel stronghold Donetsk and 15 miles from the Russian border, Ukraine's army said in a statement.

100 vehicles? Probably one battalion of tanks, one battalion of mechanized infantry, a battery of artillery, an air defense platoon and command vehicles. A mixed regimental group. But we will see if this is true in a day or so.
Thanks for the info. Too bad the first 20 posts on this issue are nothing but BS but that’s par for the course around here.
That is just one fragment of the invasion. Let us stop pretending that this is a Ukraine civil war, Russian forces are all over the place.
report from 25 minutes ago:
Reports: Novoazovsk under Russian control
It’s true. Here’s a vid from yesterday from that neck of the woods. Russia is sending small invasion groups. 2-3 tanks, AA, troops, etc. They probe and set up check points. Artillery will follow and pulverize any isolated Ukrainian units remaining in the area. By the time the kenyan gets on the case after the weekend the entire border will be erased.

I’d like to see the pictures. Can we agree it shouldn’t be too hard to snap a cell phone pic and post it somewhere? 100 tanks?
I’m all for Ukraine routing the Russians but if they fail to back this one up with credible photos I’m going to have to call BS on this and any further cries of wolf.
I mean, we get enough lies from our own President.
Or “tourists.” Who took a wrong turn on the way to Crimea.
I have never seen such a slow-motion invasion by dribs and drabs...
Putin is being Putin.
Obama is puttin’..........
Very possible. I hear the road signs are very confusing in that area.
They have been attacking border guard posts too, sometimes nowhere near any “rebel” area
A Russian Army K-9 Unit was found and eliminated, 6 men and 2 dogs. Unit 35690 was called "Sputnik"
Who knows? If all the Russian tanks Ukraine has said are in Ukraine were there, there would be none left in Russia.
Boy who cried wolf—IF it was an Invasion, they Red Army would be backed up by the Red Air force and navy. Its more send money to a corrupt Keiv Govenment.
These Russian Army paratroopers admitted they were following orders.
If true, Putin will be in Keiv in a day or so. Then he will write the peace treaty—or should we call it a piece treaty? I don’t think its true—everyother day there is an armored group invading —or so it seems. The Ruskies wouldn’t send one without air support.
Really? Russia has only, what, 20 tanks?
Source? Do you have a link?
You’re one of those whom, almost every day it seems, is telling us about another column of tanks invading from Russia, bigger than the column from the day before.
