Russian military claims US, NATO involved in invasion planning
A video narrated by Russian ministry of defense spokesman Major General Igor Konashenkov, charges the US and NATO with the planning to invade the two Russian speaking breakaway republics, Donetsk and Lugansk.The Facebook video announcement has a link to a Yandex.ru document center where the five page order is displayed.  NATO and the US military have been training Ukrainian forces since 2014, but this document dump purports to show US involvement with the planning of an invasion of Lugansk and Donetsk in January, 2022. Russia's "special military operation" carried with it a purpose of preventing a Ukrainian invasion of the two breakaway republics. The document, if authentic, shows a clear cause for war. Both republics were recently recognized by the Russian Federation as sovereign countries, and both republics' troops are heavily involved in clearing their respective territories of Ukrainian regulars. Most recent reports by both sides indicate Lugansk and Donetsk troops are having a difficult time in achieving their objectives, even with heavy Russian fire support. Posted by: badanov 2022-03-09 |
