US attack helos, F-35s and infantry heading to Baltics amid Russia Ukraine invasion. Announcement came after President Joe Biden detailed new economic sanctions on Russia in reaction to Vladimir Putin’s moving new military forces into separatist-held parts of Ukraine.

A prototype spy plane is tracking Russian force movements for the US Army. As the world waits on Russia’s next move in its slow-rolling invasion of Ukraine, US military aircraft continue flights over Eastern Europe, searching for changes in Russia’s posture along Ukraine’s border that could give clues about its next moves.

How electronic warfare could factor into the Russia-Ukraine crisis. Understanding how modern wars are fought means understanding the invisible fights waged by signals and over code.

What the US military is doing in response to Russian actions in Ukraine. The Pentagon detailed a new round of deployments to Eastern Europe on Tuesday in response to Russia’s latest actions against Ukraine, sending fighter jets, attack helicopters and infantry troops as it bolsters security in the region. 

Images show new deployment of military vehicles in Belarus -Maxar.  Satellite images show a new deployment of more than 100 military vehicles and dozens of troop tents in southern Belarus near the Ukraine border, a private U.S. company said on Tuesday. 

Russian navy cruisers positioned to counter US, French and Italian carrier groups in the Mediterranean. Three Russian guided-missile cruisers have been arrayed across the Black Sea and the Mediterranean Sea to counter three NATO carrier strike groups, causing concern in the Pentagon, a U.S. defense official told USNI News on Tuesday.

In maps, videos and photos, how Russia’s military push into Ukraine is unfolding. Russian troops have entered Ukrainian territory, in what U.S. officials have called an invasion of the European country.

5,000 miles away but hitting home: How Russia’s advance on Ukraine is rattling Americans. The biggest ground war in Europe since 1945 would test America’s alliances like nothing else since the end of the Cold War.

West unveils sanctions with more ready if Russia carries out full-scale Ukraine invasion. Western nations on Tuesday punished Russia with new sanctions for ordering troops into separatist regions of eastern Ukraine and threatened to go further if Moscow launched an all-out invasion of its neighbor. 

Emergency funding proposal for Ukraine gets bipartisan backing in Congress. Congressional Republicans and Democrats are signaling support for supplemental spending amid Russian troop deployments in eastern Ukraine. Some lawmakers are also pushing to boost weapons deliveries from the U.S. to Ukraine — support that is already underway. 

Ukraine to impose a state of emergency, says top security official. Ukraine’s top security official Oleksiy Danilov said on Wednesday that Ukraine would impose a state of emergency on all of its territory, apart from the Donetsk and Luhansk regions where it has been in place since 2014.

Russia-Georgia 2008: a blueprint for Russia-Ukraine 2022? With Russia extending its military exercises in Belarus, Russia’s playbook in Georgia may serve as a guide for Ukraine. 

The Ukraine cyber crisis: We should prepare but not panic. As the situation in Ukraine unfolds, the prospects of cyber attacks is a growing concern. These worries are reasonable and valid; Russia has a well-established history of aggressively using their considerable cyber capabilities in Ukraine and abroad.
