According to the latest developments, the region of Kyiv has placed its army in the east, near Crimea, on the highest state of alert and emergency.

This is what the latest tweet states:

Ukraine troops put on combat alert as Russia ramps up border tensions.

The latest development leading to ever increasing tension is credited to the Kremlin claims that states Kyiv is using terrorist and many other illegal tactics to try and totally destabilise Crimea, which was annexed by the former from Ukraine back in 2014, after a referendum was not recognised globally.
