* Video footage has emerged appearing to show Russian paratroopers and equipment headed for the border
* Russian tanks, trucks, military equipment and unit carriages were spotted loaded on a southwest bound train
* US has shipped 300 Javelin anti-tank missiles to Ukraine, latest part of a $200million military aid package
