WASHINGTON, April 7. /TASS/. Russia’s intents in connection with its troop movement on the border with Ukraine remain unclear to the United States, and Washington calls upon Moscow to specify them more clearly, Department of Defense Spokesperson John Kirby told reporters on Tuesday.

"The intent is not completely clear, and I believe our State Department colleagues yesterday called on Russia to make their intentions known," he said.

"We continue to see Russian forces arrayed along the border with Ukraine in Crimea specifically," Kirby added. "It's also difficult for us to speak to intent right now. It is concerning and we continue to monitor it."

He evaded a direct response to a question of whether, in Washington’s opinion, Russian troops could be deployed in eastern Ukraine.

"I try to avoid, if I can, speaking to specific operations here, particularly operations of of another military," the spokesman said.

On Monday, a US Department of State spokesperson said his country was ready for cooperation with Moscow regarding the situation in eastern Ukraine. At the same time, in his opinion, the United States believes that reports about the movement of Russian troops on the border with Ukraine and in Crimea were credible. The spokesperson called upon Russia to refrain from any actions that might lead to escalation.

In the past few days, Western nations have repeatedly expressed concern about Ukraine’s reports of alleged Russian military buildup at its borders. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said that other countries should not find movements of military units in Russian territory worrisome, because Russia does not pose a threat to other stats, including Ukraine. He also stressed that the events in Donbass were Ukraine’s internal conflict, and Russian troops have never taken part in it.

The situation in Donbass worsened at the end of February, with fire exchanges involving the use of mortars and grenade launchers registered every day. The conflicting sides blamed the aggravation of the situation on each other. Russian President Vladimir Putin on March 30 held a video conference with his French counterpart Emmanuel Macron and German Chancellor Angela Merkel. Among other things Putin expressed concern over Ukraine’s escalation of tensions in Donbass.

For several months, the signals of increasing activity of separatists in Donetsk and Lugansk have intensified. The number of incidents and casualties has also increased. Kiev talks about 22 soldiers killed and almost 60 wounded as a result of the fire from the so-called "separatists" and unmarked soldiers operating there from the beginning of the year. This means an escalation, because there have been 26 deaths in the entire period since the armistice of July 2020. According to the Ukrainian intelligence services, the forces of the so-called The "separatists" are not only intensively trained and equipped with new equipment, but have also been reinforced by Russian snipers and reconnaissance groups.

On March 30, the Supreme Commander of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, General Ruslan Chomczak, announced that since the beginning of 2021 the Russian Federation had transported 19,000 people to the territory of Ukraine occupied by separatists. tonnes of fuel, 335 tonnes of ammunition, 35 military vehicles, 3 tanks and a large number of multi-rocket launchers and specialized equipment and weapons.

Information from the so-called "republics": Donetsk and Luhansk coincide with significant displacements of equipment and people in the adjacent areas of the Russian Rostov Oblast, but also in Krasnodar Krai, which connects with Crimea by the Kerch Bridge . On this bridge, for example, on March 29, a train carrying numerous military vehicles was photographed, including the 2S19 Msta-S self-propelled howitzers and BMP-2 and BMP-3 infantry fighting vehicles.

In the same period, columns of armoured vehicles were observed in Krasnodar and the Crimea, and in Rostov-on-Don, the main junction of communication with Donbas, rail transport carrying, among others, BTR-82A armored personnel carriers with painted-over markings of affiliation and tactical numbers. This is a practice observed in recent days with many combat vehicles transported in the area. A large column of Russian military fuel tanks was photographed on April 1, northeast of Sevastopol. Probably one of many. All this together indicates a significant concentration of troops, but also ammunition and fuel supplies necessary for operational activities.

There was also a lot in the air in the last days of March. In the Rostov Oblast, at a distance of several dozen kilometers to each other, two formations of helicopters flying west were recorded by random people. In the Morozovsk region, in the north of Rostov oblast, it was a group of 16 Mi-8 helicopters, while in the south, near the Salsk airport, a formation consisting of at least 4 Mi-28N attack helicopters and a similar number of Ka-52 helicopters appeared. Most likely they belong to the 55th Independent Helicopter Regiment stationed in the nearby Krasnodar Krai. The unit is armed with about 50 machines, ¾ of which are the Mi-28N, Ka-52 and Mi-35M attack helicopters.

The "icing" on this military "cake" is the relocation to Crimea of the 56th Independent Airborne Guards Brigade, a sub-unit of which already took part in the fighting in Donbas in 2014. Currently, according to official information from the Russian Ministry of Defense, it will be transformed in Crimea into the 56th Airborne Regiment, part of the famous 76th Guards Landing and Assault Division from Pskov. The location is quite peculiar, but it justifies, for example, the transport of this unit's equipment in recent days, including a significant number of Tor-M1 anti-aircraft missile systems.

Fato é que no mundo ocidental hoje ninguém em sã consciência duvida de que os russos estão dispostos a peitar a OTAN na Ucrânia e onde mais for necessário a fim de manter o status quo das suas fronteiras. E o pessoal sabe muito bem como os russos são sensíveis a esta questão.
Imagino que em algum momento antes de alguém fazer algum tipo de merda das grandes, como o assassinato do arqueduque húngaro em Sarajevo mais de cem anos atrás, se chegue a um consenso.
Controlar os impulsos dos ucranianos para isso é o primeiro passo. Eles são a pedra no sapato neste imbróglio todo.

Turquia confirma que EUA enviarão navios de guerra para apoiar Ucrânia

Os Estados Unidos enviarão dois navios de guerra para o Mar Negro, para apoiar a Ucrânia face à crescente presença militar russa no leste daquele país, confirmou hoje o Ministério dos Negócios Estrangeiros turco.

09/04/21 13:35 ‧ HÁ 1 HORA POR LUSA


"Fomos notificados por canais diplomáticos há duas semanas, de acordo com a convenção de Montreux, de que dois navios de guerra americanos vão transitar em direção ao Mar Negro", disse uma fonte da diplomacia turca.

Já hoje, fontes militares norte-americanas citadas pela estação televisiva CNN tinham dito que a Marinha dos EUA estava a ponderar o envio de navios de guerra para o Mar Negro, nas próximas semanas.

A Marinha dos Estados Unidos opera rotineiramente naquele mar, mas o envio de navios de guerra serve para avisar Moscovo de que os Estados Unidos estão a monitorizar de perto os movimentos naquela área, referiram as fontes citadas pela CNN.

Agora, a diplomacia turca confirmou que dois navios dos EUA cruzarão o Estreito do Bósforo separadamente, em 14 e 15 de abril, até chegar ao Mar Negro, regressando em 04 e 05 de maio.

A Convenção de Montreux, de 1936, garante a livre navegação no Estreito de Bósforo, mas os países que não tenham costa no Mar Negro devem anunciar com 15 dias de antecedência a passagem dos seus navios, que não podem permanecer no local por mais de 21 dias.

Na quinta-feira, a Casa Branca admitiu que os Estados Unidos estão cada vez mais preocupados com a crescente presença de tropas russas na fronteira com a Ucrânia e na Crimeia, península anexada pela Rússia em 2014.

O Presidente dos Estados Unidos, Joe Biden, prometeu ao seu homólogo ucraniano, Volodymyr Zelensky, no início de abril, apoiar a soberania da Ucrânia contra a Rússia, acusada de concentrar as suas tropas na fronteira com este país.

O anúncio da presença de navios de guerra dos EUA no Mar Negro ocorre na véspera da visita de Zelensky à Turquia para se encontrar com o seu homólogo turco, Recep Tayyip Erdogan.

O Kremlin divulgou que a Rússia movimenta as suas tropas no interior do seu país como achar conveniente, enquanto aconselha Kiev e o Ocidente a não ficarem preocupados.

A US Navy no Mar Negro é como a marinha russa no Mar do Caribe. Ninguém aceita esse tipo de coisa impunemente.
