Moscow are furious and calling it an american plot

 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 56633392


that is what they are saying in private. I am in contact with a diplomat who tells me what is happening behind the scenes
 Quoting: Janey


Obama's just threatened Russia, at the same time threatening China that he'll protect Japan against any attack by them. This seems a deliberate provocation to start a major war. What happened to the National Debt can he kicked down the road in February? Is it about to explode? Is that why he wants a war as a diversion?
 Quoting: Tess2012


War with Russia and China as a diversion , some diversion!

Just in: RAF sees off Russian ‘Bears’ as fears rise over Ukraine

The Typhoons were sent up to investigate after radar detected two large aircraft.

The Tupolev Tu-95 “Bears” were nearing UK airspace off the north-east coast but were picked up well out by the fighters.

I dont see america intervening in any shape or form, just more sanctions.
 Quoting: Janey


Agreed. As I said, I think Georgia 2008 is probably a good analogue of what will happen (although I don't think Obama will even consider using force behind the scenes).

According to a correspondent of "Russia 24" located in Slovyansk: Soldiers of the Republic of Donetsk in a collision with the Ukrainian army could recapture a checkpoint at the entrance to the city. From neighboring towns to help the militia are arriving volunteers. Many unarmed, not many small arms.

Could that be the reason for the upsurge in movement this morning?
 Quoting: Lime Flavoured Redux


the Ukrainians are seeing it as a Russian response to intel that they would be launching assaults today and to prepare pro-Russians with arms. Not surprising really, they have been saying it all would start on Thursday since the weekend.
 Quoting: Janey


They have???

 Quoting: Limpan


yep, I mentioned it in one of my posts yesterday. They had been merrily telling the press things would happen on Thursday. Not great for operational security!

Moving slowly also reduces the chance of them getting surrounded by being too far ahead of their support lines.

Well didn't the Americans yesterday or the day before pretty much give Kiev the green light to use force on these separatists? Russia will use that as an excuse for calling it US driven.
 Quoting: Lime Flavoured Redux


they did indeed get the greenlight, with the message from Biden that America would have their back covered if Russia intervenes..
 Quoting: Janey


Can you prove that?
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 56633392




I can in terms of senior people who are involved telling me that was the case. Although, to be honest, I dont see america intervening in any shape or form, just more sanctions.
 Quoting: Janey


As long as Obama talks about sanctions, nothing will happen!!
But he sais last week that there miltary was stronger the the Russians last week.
With that a a small threat.

People in #Slovyansk now are being asked by the rebels to go to the checkpoints and protect them as a human shield.

RUSSIANS STAGE ON THE BORDER

There are indeed, now confirmed by my military sources, that there are Russian troops moving towards the border. They are currently stopping short and seem to be staging, forming up with other groups. Really close to the border.

Still unknown if they will cross or if it is a bluff to deter Kiev.
 Quoting: Janey


Oh boy
 Quoting: Windmill


I think there are enough deaths with those of today that will help them justify a russian peace force in Ukraine


Edit: Also they will be heroes for liberating the hostages in Slaviansk ;)
 Quoting: NotZuckerberg


With obvious American interference, do the Russians need anymore justification? Fate of Ukraine doesn't effect US national security but its imperative to Russias.
