    Good read here Slider.

    Most of my opinions in my posts over the last few days affirmed in
    this Russian article in their respected international press agency
    TASS.

    Importantly, the prediction that the US will not intervene militarily
    in the Donbass/Crimea situation.

    Biden has clearly read Sun Tzu. He is clearly also far more
    intelligent than his orange haired predecessor.

    Security chief warns Kiev may stage provocations to launch military
    actions against Crimea

    https://tass.com/politics/1277891

    With Washington’s backing, Ukraine has been voicing plans to establish control over Crimea’s soil by force ever more often, Russian Security
    Council Secretary Nikolai Patrushev said

    SEVASTOPOL, April 14. /TASS/. Ukraine could carry out provocations as
    supported by the US resulting in the deaths of its own servicemen and the
    loss of equipment with the goal of launching military actions against
    Crimea, Russian Security Council Secretary Nikolai Patrushev said on
    Wednesday.

    With Washington’s backing, Ukraine has been voicing plans to establish control over Crimea’s soil by force ever more often while Kiev’s new military security strategy clearly designates Russia as a foe, Patrushev
    told a meeting in Sevastopol on ensuring the peninsula’s national security.

    "A pretext for launching military actions could be provocations organized
    by Ukraine with the US support, resulting in the deaths of servicemen and
    the loss of military equipment," Patrushev warned.

    "While flirting with the new US administration, Kiev is ready to drag the country into new military ventures, regardless if it further worsens the country’s economic situation," Patrushev stated.

    Russian envoy blames US, NATO for escalation in Donbass

    According to Alexander Lukashevich, Russia is seriously concerned by
    increased drills of NATO units near Ukraine

    https://tass.com/politics/1278743

    VIENNA, April 15. /TASS/. The United States and NATO bear responsibility
    for aggravation of the situation in Donbass because of their refusal to
    exert influence on Kiev, Russia’s Permanent Envoy to the OSCE Alexander Lukashevich told the OSCE member states on Thursday.

    "According to the current data, over the past days no less than five US military transport planes have arrived in Ukraine. Fanning the flames of belligerent ambitions of ‘hotheads’ in Kiev, the US and NATO are doing nothing in order to urge Ukrainian authorities to implement what the UN Security Council approved in its Resolution 2202. By doing so, they bear
    direct responsibility for aggravation of the situation and the continued violence," he noted at an online meeting of the OSCE permanent council.

    According to the diplomat, Russia is seriously concerned by increased
    drills of NATO units near Ukraine, "the work of various instructors and advisors directly on its territory, as well as deliveries of equipment and
    arms to Ukraine, including high-technology and destructive lethal
    weapons.".
