However, Deputy Defense Minister Anatoly Antonov denied the buildup on the Russia-Ukraine border and said Moscow had accepted a request on Tuesday which would allow Ukraine to conduct a surveillance flight over Russian territory to check for a threat.
The request was made under the Open Skies treaty that was signed in 1992, and enables Russia and Ukraine to carry out surveillance flights over each other’s territories.
