Ukraine Warns, Russia’s war against us is “Imminent”

Observers think Russia is in full readiness to attack and its a matter of time. The invasion will be of full scale. Information confirm that Russia’s ‘almost finished’ build-up of forces near the Ukrainian border raises concerns that the region could be attacked from the north. A senior Russian military official, speaking on condition of anonymity, would not specify Putin’s intentions, calling him an opportunist. But the dynamics in Belarus are ideal for Russia to prey on the vulnerabilities of the Belarusian government.

Ukraine warns Russia has almost completed buildup of forces near border

The military build-up is a warning to Ukraine that it may be a proxy war aimed at disrupting the Ukrainian government. As a result, it is important to act quickly and take all necessary precautions. While a full-scale military invasion is unlikely, Russia is attempting to use the threat as leverage in diplomatic negotiations. It hopes to restart the Minsk peace process after it was stalled. This is a clear indication that the Russian military is trying to turn Ukraine into a buffer state and turn Donbass into a renegade territory. It wants to recognize the Donbass leadership as autonomous and under its control, and it wants to have a veto over Kyiv’s foreign policy.

Pro-Kremlin observers say that the current level of hysteria will help the Ukrainian president overcome falling approval ratings and stifle criticism. The Russian military build-up has spanned a decade, and the country has over 127,000 troops in the area. The full strength of this build-up comprises about ten thousand soldiers on land, as well as several thousand servicemen in both the land and maritime components.

The situation in Eastern Ukraine is particularly tense in light of the influx of refugees. According to reports, over 35,000 refugees have fled to the eastern part of Ukraine in the last year. Despite the conflict, the Russian government denies the presence of military personnel in the area. In addition to these military forces, there has been an increase in Russia’s intelligence activity and reconnaissance flights over the Ukrainian border. Kiev has warned that the threat of a major conflict between Poland and Belarus is a growing concern. Moreover, the Polish army is preparing for the eventuality.

While the US and EU are expressing concern about an invasion of Ukraine, the Russian military has yet to decide how to respond. During recent days, the US Department of State has released daily press briefings, including articles on the Russian military and the separatist weapons in Ukraine. In the US, Vice President Biden has pledged to “make it difficult for Russia to attack the Ukrainian border.”

A recent Ukrainian military intelligence assessment reveals that Russia has ‘almost completed’ its build-up of its forces near its western border. This move follows three rounds of diplomatic talks last week that failed to achieve de-escalation and the Ukrainians’ readiness to respond. However, there are some concerns. The Ukraine has ‘almost’ finished building-up of its military forces, so it is ‘harder’ for the Russians to invade the country.
