Ukraine urges calm, saying Russian invasion not imminent

Ukraine’s leaders sought to reassure the nation that a feared invasion from neighboring Russia was not imminent, even as they acknowledged the threat is real and prepared to accept a shipment of American military equipment Tuesday to shore up their defenses.

Russia has denied it is planning an assault, but it has massed an estimated 100,000 troops near Ukraine in recent weeks, leading the United States and its NATO allies to rush to prepare for a possible war.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said late Monday that the situation was “under control” and that there is “no reason to panic.”

Defense Minister Oleksii Reznikov said that, as of Monday, that Russia’s armed forces had not formed what he called battle groups, “which would have indicated that tomorrow they would launch an offensive.”

President of Ukraine has said that Putin doesn't currently have enough troops stationed to completely invade Ukraine(pop 44 million) and take the capitol, but he is worried of a "minor" incursion especially after Biden's gaffe.

Our government can’t even appear to be rational. It’s an idiocracy.

Its not a wag the dog scenario. Its Biden's weakness encouraging our enemies to act. Biden is already planning to flee with US state dept personnel. Same as Afghanistan.

Russia destroyed the border with Ukraine in 2014. They can move those units across anytime they wish. Russian units are already inside Ukraine and Russian boys go home in boxes all the time.

Thats been the staus quo. The big difference is that Brandon wants to use it.

Run for your lives! ( sarc.) EVACUATE THE EMBASSY, COLLECT ALL YOUR DR. PEPPER MACHINES, HEAD FOR THE BORDER ANYWAY YOU CAN, THE ORIENT EXPRESS IS RUNNING!,,,,,SOUND FAMILIAR? SOUNDS THE SAME AS THE " Panick Now" COVID MEME used to get socialist control over vax mandated America.(sarc.)

AND WHATS MORE, ANY AMERICAN CITIZEN IN UKRAINE invbestigating the Hunter Biden scandals and Biden quid pro quo? The State Department is NOT going to provide exit transport for you....YOU STAY AND DIE!!!!(Buahahahaha...sarc.)

Will America fall for another attempt by the Marxist Dems to use the Russia "boogieman" now so overworked after 5 Russia runs at Trump,General Flynn and others?

GIVE IT A REST , BRANDON!

Putin is in Brandon's head 24/7.....ever since he reamed Obama and Brandon new ashaoles in the Crimea. Both Brandon and Obama are nothing but Putin bend over boys. And Putin is doing it again. Pass the popcorn, this is great entertainment.

Maybe Nancy Pelosi will ask Milley once again for crew served machine guns to protect the capitol from Russian Agents disguised as Trump supporters? Buahahahahahahaha!

Biden’s handlers hope this saber-rattling takes the MSM off our southern border—meanwhile, suicide vests are being transported, fitted, and waiting.

Biden gets his money directly from Russia now, through his son Hunter. He doesn’t want that interrupted.

Russia plans to move in once the “coup” happens in Ukraine by the Pro-Russian factions. They don’t need an invasion force if invited in.

The reality.

Two destroyed Russian tanks near near separatist-controlled Starobesheve, eastern Ukraine, October 2, 2014.

All the deep state war talk is destroying Ukraine’s economy. There’s local runs on banks, international lenders aren’t lending, insurance is skyrocketing, projects are being cancelled. I would absolutely expect a Ukraine default on its debt in the near future.

Putin won’t invade - but Biden will succeed in destroying Ukraine anyway.
