Ukrinform is the Ukrainian equivalent of Russia's official TASS news agency. The speculation here is that Russia may be gearing up for what Saddam did in Kuwait - a military exercise that turns out to be an invasion. Will Putin overrun the rest of Ukraine? What will Trump's response be, if anything? Time will tell.

Any photos of Hunter Biden wearing a helmet and sticking his head out of a Ukrainian tank?

I’d rather go to war with Seattle or Portland.

Red Army masses on Ukraine border: 80,000 troops and missile launchers spark invasion fear

This was from March 2014 though. Seems to happen quite often. Maybe a training ground.

Probably "massed" there because most of them are too broken-down to move...

All America's enemies, foreign & domestic, are using the chaos successfully created by the chicoms with their sneak attack to create even more chaos...
It used to be called "piling on"...

[Mariner]

Dont believe anything published in Ukraine without at least one other source that is reputable.

Anything.

[PIF]

1100 tanks? Pffph. A real tank threat would be 30,000-35000 tanks as would have come through the Fulda Gap in Germany had Russia invaded in the 60s-70s

Everybody knows, Ukraine is weak!

Matthew 24:6-13 New International Version (NIV)

6 You will hear of wars and rumors of wars, but see to it that you are not alarmed. Such things must happen, but the end is still to come. 7 Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be famines and earthquakes in various places. 8 All these are the beginning of birth pains.

9 “Then you will be handed over to be persecuted and put to death, and you will be hated by all nations because of me. 10 At that time many will turn away from the faith and will betray and hate each other, 11 and many false prophets will appear and deceive many people. 12 Because of the increase of wickedness, the love of most will grow cold, 13 but the one who stands firm to the end will be saved.

From the article:

Russia has already created three groups of troops near the border with Ukraine, "which are capable of carrying out sudden offensive operations on the territory of Ukraine with limited objectives without declaring mobilization and with minimal preparatory measures."

And this is not taking into account:

• the Crimean peninsula turned into a "ground aircraft carrier" and
• the occupied areas of Donbas where Russia's deployed army corps in terms of their military power and strength outnumber the armies of a number of European countries.

The creation of a group of Russian occupation troops in the temporarily occupied territories of Donetsk and Luhansk regions as part of the 1st and 2nd Army Corps has led to the emergence of a large number of weapons and military equipment in eastern Ukraine.

The combat composition of the 1st army corps includes:

• five brigades (1st, 3rd, 5th separate motorized rifle brigades, 100th separate motorized rifle brigade of the "Republican Guard" and a separate artillery brigade);
• three separate regiments (11th separate motorized rifle regiment, 9th separate assault motorized rifle regiment of the marine corps and a separate commandant's regiment);
• ten separate battalions (divisions).

The combat composition of the 2nd army corps includes:

• four brigades (2nd, 4th, 7th separate motorized rifle brigades and a separate artillery brigade);
• two regiments (6th separate motorized rifle regiment and separate commandant's regiment);
• six separate battalions (divisions).
