Russia Builds Base on Ukraine Border - from TRUNEWS

Russian President Vladimir Putin has announced plans to build a military base on the Russia’s border with Ukraine.

The facility will hold 5,000 troops and heavy weapons near where fighting has taken place between Russian-backed separatists and the Ukrainian army. Retired U.S. General David Petraeus once issued a warning Putin could lash out against the west, due to the suffering experienced by Russia from the economic sanctions.

The base will be the second largest in the county, and experts say it shows Russia wants to revert back to Cold War tactics.
