Tensions are reaching a boiling point as reports indicate that Russian tanks have now been spotted moving into occupied territory in Crimea, which was seized following an operation carried out by Vladimir Putin’s forces in 2014. According to Witnesses, large amounts of Russian military hardware are massing near the towns of Dzhankoy and Armyansk in northern Crimea, close to the border with Ukraine.
