In Pics | Ukrainian frontline village awaits next move amid Russian threat

With tensions escalating between Russia and Ukraine, and a stand-off between the US and its NATO allies and Moscow, villages on the frontline in Ukraine are awaiting an uncertain fate. Russia has deployed over 100,000 troops along the Ukraine border and are reportedly carrying out frequent reconnaissance flights within Ukraine airspace. While Russia maintains that it has no plans to invade Ukraine, the US sees the troop buildup as a sign of a possible invasion. Simultaneously, talks between the US, NATO, and Russia are underway over Russia’s demands for security guarantees, but no breakthrough has been achieved thus far.
