After extensive nights of research, it’s clear that something is indeed going on with Russian military movement. It is not exercises. ‘Zapad-2021’ is still far away. Russia is sending soldiers/equipment from central mil districts towards Ukrainian borders 1/4 pic.twitter.com/aU3FE83s9Q

Twisty question..
How likely do you think is that Zelensky is actually playing the Russian card, providing the reason for Russia to intervene rather sooner than later and giving it a path to recovering the East and eventually the whole South which in fact was always Russian?
Present status quo in Eastern Ukraine does not satisfy anyone.
Ukraine cannot become a stable state without the separation of Russian majority regions. The past years showed that the West will only suck Ukraine dry and they will never give a damn about it. Ukraine survival depends on good relations with Russia. There are already plenty other ethnic issues in Ukraine especially with Hungarians and Romanians.
Russia is not whole without the lands it got under Catherine the Great and that includes the East and the whole South. The rest of Ukraine, with deep Polish roots and the East mosaic of Poles, Romanians, Hungarians, Germans are of no interest to Russia imho.
Sanctions are already in place for Russia - not much can affect them anymore short of a full blown war.
Truth it, whatever NATO has in the region doesn't hold a candle to Russian might and I don't see them hurrying to move anything really meaningful in the area.

FM Sergey #Lavrov: If the #US statements about #Russia being its "opponent", "enemy", "rival" or "competitor", are based on the desire to accuse us of the consequences of its own reckless policy, we can hardly have a serious conversation.

"Trump was against such a conflic". And why then he sent thousands of troops to Europe and Baltics or why he scrapped INF? Trump did exactly what TPTB needed.

Russia cought TPTB unprepared twice. First time when swiftly took measures to protect Crime. 2nd time when launched military campaign in Syria. They needed time to prepare for confrontation, they tried to wear of Russian resources with ridiculous sanctions and Trump was there only to buy them more time and to discredite all the voices speaking against the globalist agenda.
That's why he was one term president. His disastrous job is done and TPTB has no more time left...

I think that Russia has no territorial tendencies towards Ukraine. The notion that it has has always been Western propaganda. The so called Russian population in Ukraine is a no factor. They see themselves as Russian or Ukrainian, at its core it is the same thing. I get an impression that when westerners talk about this subject they feel like there is a backlash between the two ethnicities but its more complicated than this. Like I wrote, it doesn't matter that much, it is the same identity that they tried to twist in recent decades and make it a problem. In western Ukraine which was for the most part always under heavy European influence through history even as parts of Austria-Hungary empire or Lithuanian commonwealth, they have an inbred dislikeness towards Russia and they want to impose this behaviour on the rest of Ukraine, creating problems where there never was any problems.

If this war really happens, Russian goal will not be taking of Ukrainian lands. Main goal will be to destroy the leadership of UA and to disable extreme right components that fuel the schism of Ukrainian/Russian relationship. Russia does not need Ukrainian land and taking parts would be more of a problem then solution for Moscow. They don't gain anything by taking parts of UA.

Interesting idea. But personally I don't think it's Zelensky who calls the shots. Armament supplies from NATO countries became more often in recent weeks and months. Also ceasefire agreement between Russia and Ukraine ended few days ago.
To me it looks like a part of the globalist plot. There are two possible outcomes - either there will be full fledged war with NATO jumping in (and, personally, I see this less possible) or they will throw Ukraine under the bus and will use local conflict as pretext for more sanctions (possible Nord Stream 2 cancellation, SWIFT restrictins etc.).
I see 2nd option more likely because they are cowards. They don't dare to openly invade even Syria or Iran. That's why they starve population instead of open agression...

Things are a lot more complex than this in Ukraine.
The East and South are mainly Russian while the center and West have a very complex structure.
While it was all Russian a millennia ago, the West and central areas have been under Polish and Lithuanian control for centuries. There was also the massive Jewish population and the West is has a very diverse mixture, with Northern Bucovina mainly ethnic Romanians and Poles, Austrians/Germans in Galicia. Transnistria has been artificially incorporated in Moldavia and the Moldavian/Turkish Budjak given to Ukraine. Hungary already gave passports to some ethnics from the western region. So far the Ukrainian policies have been very xenophobic, closing schools in ethnic languages and not recognizing minorities. Remember that one of the conflict reasons was the forced ukrainization and attempt to forbid the Russian language even before Yanukovich left. There is no education above grade five except in Ukrainian while officially 78% are declared Ukrainians and 17% Russians, 26.6% have Russian as first language and only 38% are affiliated to the Kyivan Patriarhate. Donbass is 74% Russian, Lughansk 68%, Zaporizhenia 48%, Crimea 77%, Kharkiv 44% and Odessa 42% by the Ukrainian stats.

(April 3, 2021) Former envoy: Al-Qaida linked leader an ‘asset’ to US Syria strategy
The former U.S. special envoy to Syria said in an interview excerpt published Friday that Al Qaida’s Syrian offshoot is an “asset” to U.S. strategy in Syria.
Ambassador James Jeffrey had told PBS News in March 2021 that the Islamist rebel group Hayat Tahrir al-Sham
was “least bad option of the various options on Idlib, and Idlib is one of the most important places in Syria,
which is one of the most important places right now in the Middle East.”
Jeffrey oversaw the Trump administration’s Syria policy until November 2020,
when he left the State Department in the wake of the election of President Joe Biden.”

It's not surprise that post-coup policies are very xenophobic. Only Bandera worshippers were willing to participate in bloody Maidan events. Nazi collaborators being nazi collaborators. It's ironic that neo-liberal western countries, with their multi-cultural Babylonian replica, support such kind of scumbags. Even more ironic that zionist state does the same.

It would be nice to see Odessa to be Russian again. Maybe Russia could link mainland with Transdnestria, too. However, I don't think Russia wants to take the whole Ukraine. Many Ukrainians has neutral stance towards Russia and wide military conflict would turn them against Moscow. And we all know how expensive, complicated and unsuccessfull occupation is.
Russia won't undergo such challenge, I think. That's why voentorg was given to regions where Russia is welcomed. To Donetsk and Lugansk. Even Kharkiv was not so determined in defense against the globalist threat.

If there will be open conflict between Russia and Ukraine then it will be similar to Georgian war. Ukrainian military installations will be destroyed, western supplied armament seized or eliminated and offensive capabilities eliminated for decades to come.

I want to emphasize again that in eastern Ukraine Russian population does not have majority. These are Ukrainians by ethnicity but prefer Russia over western Ukraine. And they even prefer Russian language over Ukrainian although they are Ukrainians. There is no backlash between Russian and Ukrainian entity because they feel it is the same thing. Once Ukrainian national ideas started to flourish, fueled mainly by Ukrainian patriots from Lviv area this became problem. You see the depths of complicity? Look, here is a presentation of Ukraine where its shown the percentage of Ukraine population. Even in Donetsk and Lughansk Oblast Ukrainians have majority with 58% in Lughansk and 57% in Donetsk.
https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/5/56/Ukraine_census_2001_Ukrainians.svg/525px-Ukraine_census_2001_Ukrainians.svg.png

But these people still prefer Russia although probably would feel most satisfied with Ukraine that would be favorable to Russia instead of Europe.
