The United States continues to warn that Russia could invade Ukraine "any day" amid escalating tensions in the region, with President Joe Biden telling reporters Friday he's "convinced" Russian President Vladimir Putin has decided to invade.

So does this mean the invasion will be limited to those two small areas and not the entire Eastern Ukraine?
But hey, at least we don’t have to read Trump’s mean tweets anymore. Right?
“Putin to address Russian people”
Price of vodka goes down ?
Foreign press: “Putin to recognize Ukraine rebel territories as independent: Kremlin”
“they WANT to join Russia”
yeah, that’s the ticket... still waiting
Ruble has fallen already in anticipation of sanctions.

The eastern United Kingdom does not want to be annexed by Russia.

Breaking: Putin to recognize eastern Ukrainian region of Donbass as independent
I predicted this over the last weeks on numerous interviews. The end game is a sphere of influence scenario
US military bolstered in the Balkans/E Europe and East Ukraine is now de facto Russia
If Mexico says that Arizona is an independent state, and they invite the Mexican Army in to provide security, then how would the US react?
Right. And the American People have plenty of sons and daughters for Lying Joe to sacrifice their lives so they can get the graft from Military Contracts.

I saw in the Russian news that Putin has not agreed to a summit meeting with Brandon, contrary to Western news reports, saying issues between the countries should be discussed at a foreign minister level.
I think those like Sundance (who I consider a national treasure and does tremendously valuable work) who think Brandon is engineering this whole thing and then will meet with Putin and “save the world” and win a Nobel Peace Prize in this case are badly misreading world events.
I wish we could vote “no confidence” for our own govt...
"MOSCOW — Russian President Vladimir Putin said on Monday he could recognize two Russian-backed breakaway Ukrainian regions as independent, an aggressive move likely to torpedo a last-minute bid for a summit to prevent war.
Separately, Moscow said Ukrainian military saboteurs had tried to enter Russian territory in armed vehicles leading to five deaths, an accusation dismissed as “fake news” by Kyiv.
Both developments fit a pattern repeatedly predicted by Western governments, who accuse Russia of preparing to fabricate a pretext to invade Ukraine by blaming Kyiv for attacks and relying on pleas for help from separatist proxies.
In Washington, President Joe Biden summoned a meeting with his top security advisers. Secretary of State Antony Blinken, Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin and General Mark Milley, chairman of the U.S. Joint Chiefs of Staff, could be seen entering the White House on the President’s Day holiday.
Washington says Russia has now massed a force numbering 169,000-190,000 troops in the region, including pro-Russian rebels in eastern Ukraine, and could invade within days. Recognition of the rebel-held areas in the east could provide a pretext for Russian troops to cross the border into those areas.

Mexico ≠ Ukraine
Arizona ≠ Donetsk and Luhansk
Apparently set to announce Russia’s recognition of 2 separatist states in eastern Ukraine, that are supposedly in favor of succession. So, if true, Crimea plan all over, but this time these “separatist states” don’t have near as many pro-Russian, Russian-speaking people there, who have actually voted on such a measure.
False Flags are so difficult to pull off if you don’t control the ‘TIMING’. That is what we are watching day after day with Biden and Ukraine. So obvious.
