Ukrainian Defense Minister Oleksii Reznikov responded Tuesday to Russian accusations that Ukraine is planning an attack after a buildup of troops in the east, saying this is a defensive measure against Russia's own troop buildup, but they have "no plans to attack anyone."

Tensions between the two countries have been rising since 2014, when the war against Russian-backed separatists in the Donetsk and Luhansk regions, collectively known as Donbas, began.

Though Russia continues to deny providing the so-called Donetsk and Luhansk People's Republics troops and weapons, it also warned Ukraine against attempting to take the Donbas region back.

Russian officials alleged that Ukraine building its troops in the east was a sign of it trying to reclaim the rebel-controlled area, with Russian Chief of the General Staff General Valery Gerasimov previously warning that any "provocation" in the Donbas region would be "suppressed."

“a sign of it trying to reclaim the rebel-controlled area“

Reclaim? The Kiev coup never possessed it unless one believes a coup means you automatically inherit everything the old government owned, in a coup you seized the government by force. That means everybody else is free to grab what they can take by force.

If a communist coup took over DC, they don’t automatically get to rule over Lubbock or Tampa unless they can back it up with force.

Similar to a fake attack by Poland on Germany in 1939.

The 2014 CIA coup in Ukraine was a cancer the deep state introduced into the US body politic

Stupid people repeat the cliches about “Ukraine’s borders” or “Putin empire building.”

Ukraine has since been a part of the Steele Dossier, FBI fake FISA spying warrants, Biden Family corruption, the ridiculous impeachment of Trump, etc... Ukraine and its BS narrative is going to kill the USA.

Russians: We aren’t going to invade Ukraine
(after the Invasion)
Russians: We did it to save the Baby Milk factory from the fascists.

Yep, it pretty much looks like the DC Marxists ARE trying to rule over Lubbock and Tampa by force.

Putin doesn’t want to occupy part or all of Europe’s poorest, most corrupt debtor country. He just wants his access ports as has been referenced many times over. And he’s comfortable having a ‘conflict’ border.

True. I would expect at the moment they are ruling by force, and would invade in the event Lubbock or Tampa resisted the DC coup.
