The Russian defense Minister Sergei Shoigu not coincidentally, now publicly revealed strategic information about composition and number of Russian forces on the southern flank of the plain text and mentioned in his speech, NATO and Ukraine, “Nezavisimaya Gazeta”.
“The fact that Kiev has practically announced the third hike in DND and LNR, – stated in the publication. And it’s not just words. Year went to the Western instructors, the vast majority of them Americans, were drilled with a modern twist of Ukrainian Armed forces and the local National guard, besides, is not the fact that the US supplied Kiev only non-lethal weapons… And today all this Armada, according to the Lugansk and Donetsk, tightened the line of confrontation. While in the Ukrainian capital do not even hide that they are going to fight with the separatists and with Russia – first in the Donbass, and then in the Crimea. And maybe at the same time…”
The publication writes that “more to ignore the bellicose rhetoric, regularly sounding from the banks of the Dnieper, it is already impossible”.
“Sadly, everything points to the fact that Ukraine sooner or later can turn from openly hostile state in the strategic enemy of Russia, concludes, “NG”. And to cover this direction, Moscow is simply obliged to keep at the border of the Square an imposing force in the expanded state. In General, the relationship the two once brotherly States has changed dramatically, and unfortunately not for the better, than, apparently, caused by the resignation of Mikhail Zurabov with the position of the Ambassador in Ukraine.”
