Ukrainian Central Intelligence Agency of the Ministry of Defense reports that Russian special services are preparing provocations against servicemen of the Russian Armed Forces to accuse #Ukraine of this pravda.com.ua/news/2022/01/1…
"On January 13, a service meeting was held in the 3rd Omsbr of the Armed Forces of the Transnistria region of the Republic of Moldova, during which the personnel proved that provocations by Ukraine are expected in the area of Kovbasna"
Kovbasna:
Huh. Cobasna is the site of a Russian, and formerly Soviet, ammunition depot. It has been referred to as the largest in Eastern Europe, guarded by Russian troops. 1,500 troops of the Operational Group of Russian Forces are stationed in the area. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cobasna
This is far bigger than we thought and the attack now looks more like a preparation for a massive attack:
"Microsoft said on Sunday it continued to analyse the malware and warned it could render government digital infrastructure inoperable."
“The malware, which is designed to look like ransomware but lacking a ransom recovery mechanism, is intended to be destructive and designed to render targeted devices inoperable rather than to obtain a ransom”
Interesting video found on TikTok, reportedly from Kemerovo train station were a lot of Russian soldiers gathered with baggage. It looks like civilian cars bringing them to the train station. Both videos uploaded around 20 hours ago. 1/2
From the comments (checked myself):
"where are you going?"
"to Belarus"
(can't find them anymore, maybe deleted):
"I saw this train today "
"maybe not this one, troops are being pulled together all over Russia, everyone goes to Valuyki"
Same account posted this, so likely from inside the train:
Correction: This video was uploaded in July 2020, still interesting, maybe someone can get the unit.
Lavrov says #Russia prepares for any kind of development of events while waiting for a (written) response from the #US and #NATO on security guarantees
There is reason to believe #NATO in the coming months may begin to build up forces near the Russian Federation under the pretext of the situation in #Ukraine - Lavrov
The West went too far with demands for Russian troops to return to their barracks - Lavrov
