RUSSIA: State news agency reporting that President Vladimir Putin has put
149,000 troops and 26.800 pieces of military equipment on a surprise readiness
alert in its Western and Southern military districts. 
- Southern district centres on the Caucuses, Crimea and region bordering western
Ukraine.
- Western district borders northern Ukraine, Belarus, Baltic states and Finland.
- Test of readiness does not necessarily signal a precursor to any action, but
will certainly gain the attention of European and US military and political
leaders.
- Comes a day after UK gov't issues statement declaring Russian actors sought to
interfere in the 2019 UK general election.
