[Forwarded from the Freethinker] Dear subscribers. I would like to briefly inform you that as of this morning, all the Russian troops that arrived in the “LPNR”, in the Crimea and to the borders of Ukraine from the Rostov, Voronezh, Belgorod, Kursk and Bryansk regions are standing still. In any case, this is how everyone saw and conveyed to us "birds with a keen eye" flying over the places of deployment of Russian troops.
This information is partly confirmed by local residents, who say that the troops are stationary. And all that the Russian Federation and "DPR" TV shows are old footage of the loading of Russian troops. In fact, no one has gone anywhere.
And regarding the units of the 20th Army of the Russian Federation (near Voronezh), local residents say that they generally came for a long time. In any case, Russian officers tell the local population that “we are not going to go anywhere. We have come to protect you. "
It should also be taken into account that a week ago a number of Russian sources reported that on April 13-14, the Russian leadership agreed with President of Belarus A. Lukashenko on the transfer of Russian troops and military equipment to sections of the Belarusian-Ukrainian border along the Kiev and Chernigov regions. The preliminary date for the transfer of troops is scheduled for May 1-5 this year. Whether it will be, time will tell.
Taking into account all these factors and the adherence of the Russian leadership to multiple moves, it is still too early for us to calm down and believe the statements of the Russian leadership, which has repeatedly deceived its neighbors, its people and the world community.
Until a personal meeting between V. Putin and US President D.Biden takes place, the threat of provocations and attempts by the Russian Federation to test Ukraine's strength, and most importantly, the reaction of the American administration, remains very specific. After all, Vladimir Putin prefers to travel to negotiations with a trump ace in his pocket, which he does not yet have.
At the same time, the issues of restoring the lost equal-sized relations with the United States, preventing Ukraine from joining the EU and NATO, and urgently receiving water for Crimea, remain today a gaping wound on the body of the Kremlin administration, which is capable of any inappropriate actions in this situation. I hope we are ready for this.
