As all eyes are on the current humanitarian crisis on the Belarus-Poland border with thousands of asylum seekers trying to enter the EU, the US and the UK have warned Russia could be plotting an invasion of Ukraine. A British defence source said: “The anxiety is because we don't know what's going to happen.

Russia has denied all claims of possible conflict and said its military presence near the Ukrainian border was only a reaction to increased activity by the NATO transatlantic alliance in the region.

“Such headlines do nothing more than pointlessly and groundlessly fuel tensions,” said Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov.


“Russia does not pose a threat to anyone,” he added.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy has said there are nearly 100,000 Russian soldiers near Ukraine's border and that Western countries had shared information about active Russian troop movements with Kyiv, reports Reuters.
“I hope the whole world can now clearly see who really wants peace and who is concentrating nearly 100,000 soldiers at our border,” he said in a speech on Wednesday.
The UK is ready to intervene to help Ukraine if the conflict escalates as 600 British troops from the Special Air Service (SAS) and the Parachute Regiment have been warned they could be sent to the country within hours.
The Sunday Mirror reports that defence chiefs and the head of MI6 advised No10 that Russian President Vladimir Putin represents a clear and present danger to Ukraine and the West.

A British force – consisting of SAS members, the Special Reconnaissance Regiment, medics, engineers, signallers and up to 400 paratroopers from 16 Air Assault Brigade based in Aldershot, Hampshire – is being set up.
A source said: “The high readiness element of the brigade was told it may need to deploy at very short notice.
“Between 400 and 600 troops are ready.
“Their equipment is packed and they are ready to fly to Ukraine and either land or parachute in. They have trained for both eventualities.”

Tony Blinken, the US Secretary of State, said: “We don't have clarity into Moscow's intentions, but we do know its playbook, and our concern is that Russia may make the serious mistake of attempting to rehash what it undertook back in 2014.
“We are concerned with the reports of the unusual Russian activity near Ukraine.

predictable move I saw it coming miles away

oh dear, the anglophiles are itching for a war. it seems they are desperate, since both Russia and China have been rapidly modernizing their militaries. the desperation is also because the impending economic collapse of the West is dead certain. america is reeling from 2008 economic meltdown, skyrocketing national debt touching $30 trillion, brexit aftershocks will unravel as Covid-19 begins to claw away at Western economies. the petrodollar is on the verge of hemorrhaging as bitcoin surges.

from the australian submarine deal, to West pumping weapons into ukraine, to the mutated nato of pacific (quad), to western navies' violations of SCS waters, to weapons' deal with taiwan, to the disastrous and humiliating end of the West's bogus War on Terror in Afghanistan, to the impending hyperinflation, to the Western dictatorship telling Nicaraguans who they can and cannot elect. It seems clear as daylight, that it is the West ... in particular america, britain and france that are the architects of what will be World War Three.

Last time I checked, it was america with over 600 military bases stacked up right next to Russia and China. Last time I checked it was britain illegally occupying Las Malvinas, Gibraltar, Malta Territory, Diego Garcia and countless others .... not China, and most certainly not Russia.

so that pesky little runt of an island that proclaims itself as "great" britain, is nothing more than an arrogant, grumpy old croak that's got one leg hanging in the grave, pointing it's guns and barking at anyone passing by. britain really ought to remember 1956 and know it's place in the world is at the bottom of the table. they can prance around with their queenie carriers and their fat-ducky F-35s, won't stop China or Russia from saturation hypersonic missile strikes that would sink those carriers at the bottom of the Pacific Ocean, the Black Sea and the Mediterranean Sea.

the original HQ of Dajjal, is the island of britain!!

Translation: Beligerent rogue regime in West Europe threatens to occupy East European countries along Russias border to raise tension with Russia.

 

[Darius77]

The backstabbing devious British b@stards and their Zionist masters are pushing the war agenda against Russia with their little Jew lapdog Zelinsky. The British are historical intriguers and still think that they are major power, which is quite laughable by itself as even Scotland wants to secede from the tiny rain soaked thieving island.

 

[AViet]

They are "democracy". I think those British soldiers, facing the death threat, will ask for voting whether they will attack or retreat, or raise the white flag.

And do not forget, Britain has great "human right" records, which they are lecturing others. Asking their soldiers to fight the mighty Russian army, which is much different than bombing the innocent, bare-hand Iraqi or Afghani children and women, or killing some primitive so-called insurgents, is surely violating their human right.

I think Putin will try to maintain a detent for now

USA is trying to fire as much countries as it can. They already destroyed Ukraine in 2014. You think West is building plants and factories here to provide jobs and good payment for locals? No. They destroyed Ukrainian industry by cutting economical ties with Russia and other republics. Now millions of Ukrainians work in Europe on plantations as semi-slaves. Europeans make limits for Ukrainian goods but force Ukraine to lift all limits for European goods. We are now their colony, their source of white slaves and market for their low-quality goods. That is all. And they want this situation to continue.

Misleading headline. 600 SAS most probably will be use to evacuate embassy staff and other British assets ahead of imminent Russian invasion.

 

[newb3e]

brits! are they still a thing?

 

[Titanium100]

The British will deploy as back-up few thousand forces but expect the bulk of the deployment to come from France and Germany they will deploy in strong numbers. The spainards and Italians will be forced to deploy strong numbers but would perfer to deploy small numbers but under pressure they will be forced to deploy considerable large numbers.. Russia could still crush them on a broad daylight I am unsure whether they are fit for this honestly especially the Italians and Spainish they are badly out of shape for any conflict and to domesticated they themselves would rather avoid this alltogether.

Russia knows it faces no deterence from these on EU continent. It want to put an stamp on Ukraine in order to take control of the influence in all of Europe so the rest of the continent answer to Moscow this is an attempt force them into submission to Moscow by making an example out of Ukraine
