Reports in Russia: Russia yesterday ordered its diplomats in Ukraine to leave the country immediately.

Russian military forces began arriving in Belarus today (Tuesday) ahead of military exercises scheduled to take place next month near the border with Ukraine. This, at a time of record tensions between Moscow and the West, fears grow that President Vladimir Putin is preparing to attack Ukraine. 

The Belarusian Defense Ministry said the two countries' forces, which were part of the Soviet Union, would train together from February 10 to 20 as part of a "united determination" exercise, not far from the borders of Lithuania and Poland, NATO members.

Meanwhile, according to a CNN report, the United States has information that Russia plans to reach as far as Kiev and overthrow the government.

Moscow and Kiev do not rule out a scenario where they will have to use their combined military force. Russia's Deputy Defense Minister Alexander Pomin said the purpose of the exercise was to prepare for "repelling external aggression during a defensive operation, fighting terrorism and defending the interests of the 'Union State (Russia and Belarus)'".
