Ukrainian defense chief denies Russian military action imminent
Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.[REGNUM] There will be no major "invasion" of the territory of Ukraine from the Russian Federation. This was announced by the Minister of Defense of Ukraine Alexei Reznikov in an interview with the Voice of America. "I don’t believe that," Reznikov said. "Because, let's not forget, we have learned to defend ourselves in eight years of this war. Our armed forces (AFU) are at a high level, especially the Ground Forces." Recall that the Ukrainian authorities, trying to absolve themselves of responsibility for the outbreak of the civil war in Donbass, have been calling Russia an “aggressor country” since 2014. Note that Russia is not really a party to this conflict. My personal working theory as to why the Russians are transporting trainloads of older equipment is that they are having problems with metal corrosion and rust while in storage. Plus with Ukraine shrilly pointing out the sneaky f*ckin' Russian© plan for an invasion, what better way to irritate them and the West than by placing those vehicles in nonactive concentrated vehicle parks in bordering oblasts. Just my two kopeks...
