Almost daily, new shootings are reported on the border with heavy weapons, and the shelling is said to continue unabated throughout the day, using a large amount of ammunition. Both sides also report casualties almost daily, and the Americans recently announced that the Russians have deployed an additional contingent of some 4,000 troops to the border with Ukraine. In addition, observers from Europe also reported new weapons to Donbass separatists.
According to The New York Times, in view of the increase in Russian forces on the border with Ukraine, the headquarters of the US forces in Europe has increased the level of preparedness from a “probable crisis” to a “potentially imminent crisis”.
On the fact that Russia is sending troops to the border with Ukraine, March 30. Ruslan Khomchak, Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, also briefed the Verkhovna Rada. Russia’s actions, he believes, pose a threat to the country’s military security. Khomchak also said that Russia explains that it is sending additional forces due to the military exercises.
General Mark Miller, chairman of the US Joint Chiefs of Staff, said yesterday that he had a telephone conversation with Russian Chief of Staff Valery Gerasimov and Chomchak.
Additionally, the White House national security adviser Jake Sullivan allegedly called Andriy Jermak, Ukraine’s bureau chief, and once again declared US support for Ukraine.
On Tuesday, Moscow and Kiev exchanged mutual accusations for escalating fighting between Ukrainian government forces and Russian-backed separatists in eastern Ukraine. At least 16 Ukrainian soldiers have died here since February.
Audrius Butkevičius, Signatory to the Restoration of Independence Act, Policy Reviewer:
The situation in Donbass is a direct reflection of the internal situation in Russia and Ukraine. Here in Russia, there is a clear crisis in the political relations between the government and society. Therefore, any conflict that allows to divert the attention of the public and explain the various types of sanctions that are used is certainly beneficial for those in power … Furthermore, there is a serious war between individual oligarchic-political groups in Russia and the question of what will continue to monitor the situation in the country.
There is a conflict situation in Ukraine where the government imagines that the West is pressuring it, provoking the Ukrainian people against the current leadership of the country. This is being exploited by a scandalous situation in which information leaked from the Ukrainian presidential office thwarted a joint operation between the West and Ukraine to arrest members of the Russian group Wagner fighting the Ukrainians in Donbas, who urgently need to prove their status of “patriotic” mood. Hence various super patriotic statements in the Rada about Russia’s responsibility in the conflict, directly blaming Russia and abandoning the previously used term “counter-terrorism operation”, which is clearly presumed by the idea of war with Russia … Such things, The government believes to testify that there are some patriots in the government of Ukraine, so we have a situation that benefits the authorities on both sides and is an important factor in provoking conflicts in eastern Ukraine.
The Americans write in their press that the Russians are escalating the conflict in eastern Ukraine because they are testing how Joe Biden will behave now. But I do not think that this provocation of the situation can become a litmus test … What will this answer give? J. Baiden does not strongly agree with the Volodymyr Zelensky administration, but it is more related to personal and campaign issues. To think that the United States has only one head and that J. Baiden is the only decision maker would be ridiculous. This is the same as proving that all decisions in Russia are made only by Putin. This is a pre-flawed model of political evaluations.
The United States has no choice but to support Ukraine more or less, and this is not the credit of the Ukrainians, but the result of the general political situation. Today, the United States only has Poland in Europe, we, Ukraine and a little more Romania. That is where all the “allies” end … Therefore, it is not in the interest of the United States not to support Ukraine, whether Baiden or Tramp are forced to do so. Only some traditional games of the American administration are possible here: we will support if you do that and that, you will fight corruption, which means that we will support you if you fight against corruption in my electoral rival …
And anyway, the spring outside the window, the cool wind in the black earth area dried up a terrible slimy mush, into which the equipment sank and it was not possible to get the shoes out of the mud, so it is natural that war becomes more pleasant … Here in Russia, there is a clear crisis in the political relations between the government and society. Therefore, any conflict that allows to divert the attention of the public and explain the various types of sanctions that are used is undoubtedly beneficial to those in power … Furthermore, there is a serious war between individual oligarchic-political groups in Russia and the question of what will continue to monitor the situation in the country.
