US President Joe Biden remarks that an assault is on its way. He believes that Putin is going to invade Ukraine in the coming days. He further added that this analysis came from US intelligence. Russia denies the plan of invasion.
Russia is facing acute criticism for staging a fake crisis. The US estimates that there are around 169,000-190,000. Russian personnel massed around Ukraine. Russian-backed fighters in the republics of Donetsk and Luhansk in eastern Ukraine.
President Biden addressed television on why Russia is planning to invade. He referred to Putin, saying that Putin had already decided on invasion. He expects Russia to choose diplomacy.
On the other side, Ukraine denies all plans of attacks. Ukraine also dismissed “Russian disinformation reports”. Head of the Donetsk People’s Republic (DNR), Denis Pushilin, announced the evacuation in a video.
BBC analysis showed that it was recorded two days before the flare-up in hostilities. The US state department declared evacuation as a cynical and insane move. This move was to distract the world from Russia’s plan of invasions.
The White House compared evacuations as an example of Moscow using misinformation. Also, the announcement of evacuation by Denis Pushilin is a very troubling development.
With a huge amount of troops positioned around Ukraine’s borders, an attack is an insane act. Hence, Ukraine planning an attack is baseless.
Ukraine’s military intelligence blamed Russia for planting explosives for a so-called false attack. Ukraine continues to believe the operation has the intention to blame an opponent for it. Putin also talked about the deteriorating situation in Ukraine.
He said he was willing to discuss the crisis. But, the western leaders are ignoring Russia’s security concerns. He warned that any deal must include a binding pledge. The pledge focuses on preventing further eastward expansion. The Nato security alliance should put the expansion at rest.
Meanwhile, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky will indulge in conversation with Vice-President Kamala Harris.
