Russia could launch a 'full scale' invasion that would see troops overrun Ukraine in hours, a senior security official warned today.
The secretary of Ukraine's National Security and National Defence Committee Andriy Parubiy claimed Russia has 80,000 troops, 280 tanks and 170 aircraft massed on the border ready to invade.
'They are adding to this military potential,' he said. 'We have a critical situation on the entire southeastern border. The Russian army is only two to three hours from Kiev.'
Ukraine's defences would be incapable in the face of a Russian invasion, he said.

Also lost in the propaganda noise is the fact the EU agreement included many anti-corruption reforms the government would have to institute. Many Ukrainians favored the EU deal just for the benefit of these reforms. Both were against the oligarchy.
Goes easy on her. She gets upset with ridicule. Don’t want to threaten her 2-room flat or the dream of replacing her Lada Riva.

In this link below, he is interviewed about Ukraine. It is very interesting and this fellow, Bruce Johnson, is compelling. Scroll down to interviews on the page and click. Bruce Johnson.
“This guy at, link below, knows his geo politics.”
This guy knows it too, and even better:
If anyone want to understand what has been really happening in Ukraine, this is a February 2014 must-see video (rather long) - an interview of Stephen Cohen, professor emeritus of Russian studies and politics at New York University and Princeton University. His most recent book is ‘Soviet Fates and Lost Alternatives: From Stalinism to the New Cold War’. His latest article in The Nation is “Distorting Russia: How the American Media Misrepresent Putin, Sochi and Ukraine.”
I guess we'll find out Monday when horsefaced Kerry's ultimatum expires. i can't believe that the once great USA is being led by the nose into a possible third world war by the likes of kerry and obama.
Some people do not want the truth. It’s that simple.
They’re not worth replying to or reading their comments, unless their comments contain some fact amongst the personal attacks. If it’s worth sifting, even.
Both your comments are astute and educated, and appreciated by truth seekers.
“Some people do not want the truth. It’s that simple.”
Alas, you’re right.

Thank you.
If Russia dare invade, Kerry will snub Putin at the yacht club.
So there. :)
Wow, Marguerite. that was eye opening.
People need to wake up and see what is really going on here. Victoria Nuland is a snake.
This is more of the same and people around here need to learn to recognize it when it happens.
Oh, and leave it to McCain to always pick terrible people to align with.
I wish I could find the graphic of that sergeant or whatever he screaming “You want the truth? You can’t handle the truth!”
People who don’t want to know truth are the cause of tremendous trouble in the world.
I saw that last night Margurite....interesting listen.
We need a live Ukraine thread I think now...Russia’s moving missiles and Ukraine’s military is hunkering down on the border...I have photos....it may just come to war...Putin’s done with talking at this point...His Ambassador knew ahead of time that they’d have nothing more to say to Kerry in this recent meeting.....Kerry finally got it.
By the way...there are well over 70 International Observers to Monitor Chrimea Vote...if it actually takes place Sunday...I have a feeling the Hoodlums of Ukraine will initiate something to prevent the people from going out to vote...but I hope not..
Listening now....
...”Putin and his news media exist not to tell the truth but to conduct propaganda campaigns”....
And you think Main Street Media here in the USA doesn’t have theirs?
Come on, ...you should know better and do
When you understand the nature of the people in Ukraine...then we can talk...you need to look at the mindset their...they are ALL up for the fight and thugs from both sides are in the for front.
I watched a slow motion video on that ....the Pro-Ukraines were armed with knives clearly and were ready to rumble and what they came their for.
In Donetsk, those Pro-Ukranians men in black masks with bats and gas sprays were driven by buses from Lvov - A city that has been the site of ‘repeated standoffs’ between pro- and anti-Russian demonstrators........these buses were sent with the mission to create the same mess they did in Kiev and Lvov ....
Let’s not forget that The pro-EU supporters outed an elected president...... it is not surprising that the pro-Russian factions in the Ukraine believe they now have the same right to choose their destiny.
Your’re right. But truth is sometimes hard to grasp....I still have issues that our Government, along with Nato and EU are fully on board with positioning nations for the Global Agenda, which involves taking out nation leaders by whatever means they see fit to comply with them....no matter the number of people who die in the process... It's a hard truth to swallow....
It's NEVER about the people...it's all about the powers that be jocking for power, wealth, resources of all nations with the end result that who has the most will get the best seats at the table of the NWO Governance.
Nation Sovernity will be history.
Am enjoying hearing these....will do more tonight...but what I heard so far he has a handle on what’s happening....with the people as well as the geo-politics of it all. Thanks very much...these matter.
I trust OUR MSM and our politicians a helluva lot less than any other on the planet (bar hellholes like Nork, and of course all Moslem countries except Egypt).
Nation Sovernity will be history.
They hope. I don’t think it will work.
It’s terrible how they’re reporting on Ukraine and Russia....just like they attacked SISI in Egypt....and had zip understanding of what was going on.
