The pro-Russian separatist rebels would be supported by 7,500 Russian soldiers in eastern Ukraine. A figure given Saturday by the Ukrainian defense minister. The Ukrainian military also reported the entry from Russia 20 new military equipment by a border crossing controlled by pro-Russian separatists.
These facilities have been en route to Lugansk regional capital and rebel stronghold.
Faced with this threat, Kiev intends to "increase the number of its armed forces."
The conflict has left more than 4,300 dead, including 1,000 since the truce in September.
