Pyatt: Russian Military Deploys Additional Air Defense Systems In Eastern Ukraine

Russia is currently building up forces near the Ukrainian border, U.S. Ambassador to Ukraine Geoffrey Pyatt wrote on Twitter on Thursday.

"Russia has continued to ship heavy weapons into eastern Ukraine since the 'Minsk 2' ceasefire took effect on February 15," Pyatt tweeted.

"These forces will give Russia its largest presence on the border since Oct. 2014. It has redeployed elements near Belgorod, opposite Kharkiv."

According to Pyatt, the Russian military deployed additional air defense systems in eastern Ukraine and set up several of them closer to the front line.

"This is the highest amount of Russian air defense equipment in Eastern Ukraine since August," he said.

"Russian and separatist forces also have a large concentration of command and control equipment in eastern Ukraine," Pyatt said.

Makes you think: who or what Russian orcs are afraid of? Ukraine had grounded it’s air forces long ago, no NATO in sight, and chickenshit Obama will never lift a finger in this conflict. Flying monkeys from Wizard of Oz?

I think Russia is preparing to annex it, even though most of the region has no such desire.

How can we ignore that Ukraine oligarchs who benefited from the coup in Kiev were the biggest donors to hillary’s “charity”?
