NEWSRAEL: Although many conservatives in the USA are blaming Biden for the situation in the Ukraine, we are seeing many reports coming out of the area coming from the Ukrainian "separatists" (Those who want to re-build the USSR with Russia). They claim that Ukraine is attacking them, but one needs to ask - why at this time, when Ukraine clearly does not have the power to withstand a concerted Russian attack - would they be instigating such an attack?

If you add this simple reasoning to other facts, such as the videos being placed on social media where we are seeing residents of the separatist’s cities getting on buses as refugees to Russia which were filmed a few days ago... In short, it truly does seem that Russia and their Ukrainian "proxies" are trying to cook up an excuse for a Russian attack.

More than 40 per cent of the Russian forces on the Ukraine border are now in position for attack and Moscow has begun a campaign of destabilisation, a US defence official said Friday.

The United States, which estimates that Russia has placed more than 150,000 troops near Ukraine’s borders, has observed significant movements since Wednesday, the official said, insisting on anonymity.

“Forty to fifty per cent are in an attack position. They have uncoiled in tactical assembly in the last 48 hours,” the official told reporters.

Tactical assembly points are areas next to the border where military units are set up in advance of an attack.

The official said Moscow had massed 125 battalion tactical groups close to the Ukraine border, compared to 60 in normal times and up from 80 at the beginning of February.

The increase in clashes between pro-Russian separatists and Ukraine government forces in the southeastern Donbas region of Ukraine, and inflammatory claims by officials in Russia and Donbas, show that “the destabilization campaign has begun,” the official said.
