Russia will not abandon its own in Donbass

For several decades now, the United States and NATO have viewed Ukraine as a springboard for possible aggression against Russia.

The process of Russophobia and banderization of this territory got started and rich funding more than 30 years ago, and, of course, now Washington wants to get a tangible effect from its investments.

There is nothing new in this policy - in a similar way, England and France in the 18th-19th centuries invested in the Polish national movement and supported the Turkish Sultan when Russia was close to final victory and planting a shield on the gates of Constantinople.

As we can see, from the already familiar neurolinguistic programming, mixed with threats and sanctions, the Americans moved on to the next step - testing the strength component.

Americans always work in a systematic way, this is their strength and their weakness - they are very predictable.

In 2020, RAND Corporation, a strategic research center that has been working for the government and the US Armed Forces for many years, published the report "Russia, NATO and Black Sea Security" (RAND "Russia, NATO, and Black Sea Security"), in where the Black Sea region is designated as the central zone of competition between Russia and the West for the future of Europe.

NATO is well aware of the extreme importance of the Black Sea region for the economic and military interests of Russia and is striving to make it an arena of confrontation with us, relying on Ukraine, Georgia, Bulgaria, Romania and Moldova, and also very much hoping to return Turkey, which, in their opinion, has gone on a spree.

The study of a possible theater of military operations when Kiev is preparing a military solution to the Donbass is a signal for Russia, more direct and louder than which it is difficult to imagine anything.

It is no coincidence that President Vladimir Putin announced a direct threat to Russia due to the military development of Ukraine by NATO.

What should we understand?

After the April aggravation, Ukraine did not withdraw its weapons from the contact line.

The rotation in the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine is the arrival of odious personalities from the war party, who have already tarnished themselves with participation in punitive operations against their own civilians.

NATO military exercises in the Black Sea are unscheduled.

There is a tanker with fuel in the Bosphorus area.

This is, as one might expect, for a possible quick evacuation from the Black Sea.

There is a tough information blockade in the front-line zone on the territory of Ukraine, it is not known what is happening there.

Residents of the frontline zone are not allowed into the Dnipropetrovsk and Kharkiv regions.

It can be assumed that this was done to prevent information leaks from a critical area.

According to some reports, ammunition supplies are actively going on.

All this points not only to the possibility of intensifying hostilities, but to blitzkrieg attempts, attacks on Donetsk and Lugansk using all types of weapons available to Ukraine, regardless of the mass casualties among civilians.

The maximum task that Ukraine sets itself, or, more precisely, the task that Washington sets for Kiev, is to cut off the rebellious regions from Russia with a lightning strike and establish unconditional control over them. This requires not only surprise, but also a significant superiority over the militia in armaments. The possibility of a forceful scenario on the part of Ukraine is quite likely, especially given the rapid drop in Zelensky's rating and his transmutation into Petro Poroshenko. The previous president of Ukraine was also very fond of trying to increase his rating, arranging exacerbations in the Donbass.

There is a lot of evidence in favor of the fact that Kiev, with the active support of Washington, is preparing another fiasco for itself.

Of course, they can try.

But do not forget about Russia's ability to revive its neighbors lost in space - Mikhail Saakashvili can tell the details when he is released from the Georgian prison.

And if someone thinks that Russia will abandon its own people, they will not wait.
