Commentary by Russian military journalist,. Boris Rozhin
[ColonelCassad] 1. According to CNN, Biden has approved sending more US troops to Europe. Shipping will start in the next few days. We are talking about 3,000 soldiers in Poland, Germany and Romania. Earlier, the Poles announced the dispatch of 2.5 thousand soldiers from the United States to Poland.
2. Poland, following the Baltic states, will transfer MANPADS and various ammunition to Ukraine. The Czech Republic will transfer a batch of artillery ammunition to Ukraine.
3. The President of Croatia said that Britain is deliberately pushing Ukraine to war with Russia. So to speak, Johnson's visit to Kiev and all the accompanying talking shop summed up.
4..Germany has banned the broadcasting of RT DE in German. I wonder when DW and the Ebert Foundation will be blocked on the territory of the Russian Federation as a load?
5. In addition to the announced expansion of the Armed Forces of Ukraine by 100,000 people, additional distributions of weapons (including MANPADS and ATGMs) for terbats for urban combat have been announced. Such terbats, if necessary, can be included in the Armed Forces of Ukraine and used to support offensive operations.
6. Head of the SBU Bakanov instructed to prepare the removal of personal files of SBU employees working in the occupied territories of the DPR and LPR. Earlier, there were reports that the documents of the Ukrainian special services were being taken to western Ukraine.
7. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine ruled out granting a special status to Donbass. A day after Zelensky's statements about his readiness to try to implement the Minsk agreements.
8. A wave of fake calls spread from Ukraine about the mining of 400 buildings swept through the DPR. Yesterday, a soldier of the LNR UNM died on the front line (bomb from a drone).
Overall, signs of an impending escalation persist, especially against the backdrop of a diplomatic stalemate.
The most likely scenario for the start of events is some kind of provocation in the Donbass or on the border of Ukraine and the Russian Federation, to which the Russian Federation will not be able not to react, after which prepared sanctions will be introduced against the Russian Federation.
The United States and Britain are pushing Ukraine along this path despite the plaintive protests of the Zelensky gang, which is also being driven to the slaughter.
