NATO`s top commander, General Philip Breedlove said, "The force that is at the Ukrainian border now to the east is very, very sizeable and very, very ready”.

Meanwhile Ukraine`s National Security and Defence Council chief Andriy Parubiy has expressed fears that Russia was poised to attack Ukraine at any time, the AFP reported.
"The aim of Putin is not Crimea, but all of Ukraine... His troops massed at the border are ready to attack at any moment," Parubiy told thousands of demonstrators gathered in central Kiev.
"The occupant may cross the border any day. In Putin`s morbid imagination, Ukraine should be part of Russia," he said.
