The former Soviet state has been on alert fearing invasion from neighbouring Russia which has massed troops, tanks and attack helicopters along its border.
Russia, however, said on Friday that it was withdrawing more tanks and other armoured vehicles from areas near Ukraine's border after its "scheduled exercises" raised concerns in the West.
