Russia has been moving more artillery and supplies toward the Ukraine border, contrary to Moscow’s claims that it was withdrawing after scheduled exercises, the UK’s military intelligence chief said.

In a rare public statement issued on Wednesday by the Ministry of Defence, Chief of Defence Intelligence, Lieutenant General Sir Jim Hockenhull, said there have been sightings of additional armoured vehicles, helicopters, and a field hospital heading to the border zone.
