"Russia today began the" second stage of exercises "of its troops, including near the borders with Ukraine, which will last until the end of March, according to the statement of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation." It was understandable to everyone that the Russians had ended their "teachings" on March 7. Yesterday, personally, I did not understand how they would explain the fact that the regions of Russia bordering with Ukraine continue to be clogged up by troops. "It turned out that it's easy and easy to lie the Kremlin: it simply stated" continuing the exercises. " In the fact that this is preparation for the invasion, there is no doubt. The only question is whether the troops will ultimately be ordered to cross the border, "writes Dmitry Timchuk.
