The current situation in Ukraine continues to deteriorate. Ukraine's military has been ordered to its highest level of readiness and is deploying in defensive positions along its border with Crimea and the contested Donbas regions. Ukrainian units have been ordered to expect a large scale land war with Russia. Russia has begun to move more military ships in and around the area, while also deploying several submarines from its naval base at Sevastopol, Crimea. However, Russian officials say these Naval movements are for training purposes only. Russia has also been sighted moving massive numbers of heavy equipment throughout the Donbas and Crimea regions utilizing convoys and trains, while new equipment is reported to be moving in through the Russian border with Donbas, in a sign that Russia may be gearing up for further conflict. Putin and his closes advisors met today in a security briefing to talk about the current situation, while the UN Security Council will be discussing the same issue later today. NATO has begun to move equipment into Romania in what is possibly unrelated. NATO has stated that it is very concerned about the current situation and is watching very closely. NATO troops are currently stationed in Odessa, and a small NATO force is still in the Black Sea.
