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.

day before:
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.".
