"All the signs that are obvious, and a number of other signals indicate that Ukraine is preparing either for war, or for a very serious provocation," the DPR head said.
He stressed that Ukraine is pulling forces and equipment in a southern direction, most likely intending to cut off the republic from the sea.
In addition, according to Pushilin, the "battle signals" include the occupation of some villages or the withdrawal of Ukrainian troops to the border with Russia.
