Our state informed OSCE about military potential being accumulated by Russia against Ukraine
Ukrainian and American experts, as well as the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ukrainian Defense Ministry, warned that under the pretext of holding strategic exercises Kavkaz 2020, Russia may resort to a large-scale offensive against Ukraine. The other day, the Russian president signed a decree on conscription from the reserve "for military training" - without specific dates for this training. This only increased the likelihood of an offensive behind the decree may be the attempt of the Russian leadership to conduct a covert mass mobilization for military aggression.
Against this background, the question arises: what is the number of Russian troops ready to be involved against Ukraine? How many units of armament and military equipment do they have? In general, the answer to these questions was given at a meeting of the OSCE Forum for Security Co-operation on July 1.
As Ukraine currently chairs this OSCE policy-making body, the issue of implementing and modernizing the 2011 Vienna Document on Confidence- and Security-Building Measures was raised on Wednesday. The main speaker from Ukraine was Head of the Main Directorate for International Cooperation and Verification of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, Lieutenant General Leonid Holopatiuk. In particular, he pointed to the transformation of the occupied territories of Donbas into a "gray zone" that is not covered by the OSCE regime of arms control and confidence- and security-building measures.
Another factor of destabilization is the militarization of the occupied Crimea. The non-transparent nature of military exercises in the Russian Armed Forces also does not inspire confidence.

Maybe Russia is planning to invade Ukraine in order to protect Joe Biden and the other DC officials who are up to their necks in US aid money to Ukraine kickback crimes
Not our problem.
Our war is here.
Our war is here and we are losing.
It looks now like he wants one more increment after which there will be no more increments to want. If he pulls it off smoothly without real pushback from the USA he will probably then go for all of Georgia. That is unfinished business, too.
Yeah, agreed...
Wellll...
That’s a whole lot of men...
I hear ya...
I remember an interview where someone referred to him as a world leader. He corrected them, saying, I am not a world leader, I am president of the Russian people...
Which I took to mean, not president of Russia, but of the Russian *people*. Which means he hopes sooner or later to reincorporate at least those lands (eastern Ukraine, possibly Belarus, and other regions) where Russians are a significant presence.
At least, thats the way I took it. That seems to be his stance in general.
Revelation 9:16-18 New Life Version (NLV)
16 The army had 200 million soldiers on horses. I heard them say how many there were.
17 I saw, as God wanted to show me, the horses and the men on them. The men had pieces of iron over their chests. These were red like fire and blue like the sky and yellow like sulphur. The heads of the horses looked like the heads of lions. Fire and smoke and sulphur came out of their mouths. 18 One-third part of all men was killed by the fire and smoke and sulphur that came out of their mouths.
The world seems to collectively want to commit suicide.
Yep, worthy of the yelling. I expect it's a good bit bigger than the active duty forces of Luxembourg, which technically has an army unlike the microstates.

Yes..it is. Think about China, India, America, Europe, Russia to name a few...two hundred million over a few years doesn’t sound out of reality.
China and India have roughly 3 1/2 billion people. China has around 700 million available manpower, India has 600 million.
Scripture describes this war as killing a third of mankind.
Putin betting Trump won’t go to war 4 months before the election.
Isn’t that what Hitler claimed?
