Putin’s Press Secretary Peskov denied reports of Putin's promise to Macron on not conducting new military exercises near Ukraine’s border. This mockery is what Macron humiliated himself for ria.ru/20220208/manev…
Re Belarus that Macron spoke about. 'Russian contingent would return from Belarus to their places of permanent deployment anyway. "No one ever said that <...> the troops would remain on the territory of Belarus , there was no talk of this," Peskov
"Moscow and Paris could not conclude any deals. It is simply impossible, because France is both a member of the EU and the EU presidency. France is also a member of NATO, where France does not have the leadership <...>. Therefore, the newspaper simply wrote incorrectly ", Peskov
More than 75,000 people had to be evacuated from 400 buildings in Russian occupied DNR due to reports of bomb threats. Seems to be a lot of that going around lately. FSB is busy
Also admin officials/visitors to several Russian occupied Crimean cities were evacuated due to reports of of bomb threats to buildings. "There is a new wave of 'mining' in Crimea". Russia, Ukraine, US all have been getting a rash of bomb threats over the past month
Pleased to see more and more commentators saying that Putin’s aggression are due to revanchist policy and not some suddenly contrived fear of NATO expansionism. Anyone who has been paying serious attention sees his Soviet tendencies domestically and abroad running parallel
It was really frustrating watching his NATO security demands being discussed seriously but it seems people are now catching on that it was all bs and see Putin’s real strategic goals
In simpler terms Putin’s foreign includes his attempts to reinstate Soviet territorial losses and domestically institute repression during Soviet days
U.K. said it has exposed a plot by Russia to install a friendly government in Ukraine, supporting an earlier U.S. assessment suggesting that the Kremlin is laying plans to oust its neighbor’s leadership. wsj.com/articles/russi…
Shit! 4 operatives who are being planned to be installed have been in contact with the Kremlin and. Russian intelligence and assisting in planning the invasion
Finally sat down to read this and omg.
“Trump had draft executive order that would have directed the defense secretary to seize voting machines”
Complete dangerous lunacy! We are so lucky we somehow survived this election and better be prepared for next politico.com/news/2022/01/2…
This is absolutely batshit. Thanks @JoshManning23 for warning me to sit down
My mind for some reason was blown with the fake electors and forged documents from 7 states but this is surreal despite them all discussing it very publicly
How exciting! US Treasury imposes sanctions on 4 Ukrainian traitors who were working alongside Russian intelligence agents. A few are Medvedchuk's people. Medvedchuk is Putin's associate and is under investigation for treason. ria.ru/20220120/sankt…
"Russian intelligence services, including FSB, recruit Ukrainian citizens in key positions to gain access to sensitive information, threaten sovereignty of Ukraine, and then leverage these Ukrainian officials to create instability in advance of a potential Russian invasion."
