How cute, it turns out that THE LIES of Western intelligence services, many Western politicians, Western media, the evacuation of embassies - is this all Russian military tik-tok propaganda? Haven't Russian politicians been saying all the time that there are no plans for an invasion? Even some Ukrainian politicians have said that there are no more Russian troops than usual and that they are constantly conducting exercises.

"The Russian government has denied any plans to invade Ukraine and repeatedly accused the U.S. of "hysteria" with these increasingly urgent warnings about one.

"After Russian troops finish drills and return to barracks, the West will declare 'diplomatic victory' by having 'secured' Russian 'de-escalation' -- a predictable scenario and cheap domestic political points," Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said Saturday, according to the country's foreign ministry.
"

Moral of the story: The West always lied, lies and will lie to achieve its goals.
The Russian demand for security guarantees coincided with a military buildup culminating in over 100 tactical Battalion groups on the border with Ukraine. This is a classic case, of Russia trying to use Compellance to get what it wants.. Anyway, there is no need for invasion, if threat of invasion does the trick..
But, this has largely failed, and any future Russian demands backed by a military buildup will carry less force.. By the way, 100 TBG on Ukraine border is an overkill, if deterring a Ukranian attack on Donbass is the Russian intent..

Note: By the way, I dont really care if there is an invasion of Ukraine. The whole thing for most Indians is more of an interesting intellectual excercise :bplease:

So, Putin has kept the Duma proposal to recognise DPR and LPR as independent Republics on ice, hoping that Ukraine will follow Minsk..
This bluff will most likely not work.. He knows that too, I guess..

Ya'll Nibbiars once Ukraine enjoyed standard of life much better than us almost 10 times higher per capita. And now there is hardly any differences left less than 2 times may be in 10 years Ukraine standard if living will be less than us. Who knows. Ukarian has just fallen in economic terms more and more and nothing happening to reverse that's.

Tell me, have the neighbors run away from you yet?
All laws have long been passed, but they will not come into force until there are elections, according to Ukrainian laws, where I and hundreds of thousands of internal migrants will be able to vote too. With normal police, with the campaigning of Ukrainian parties and with border control, because it is required by law.
And what, someone forbids migrants to return and vote? No. Then, as stated in paragraphs 9 and 11, these laws and the constitutional reform were to be adopted in agreement with the representatives of the LDNR. Was there an agreement with representatives of the LDNR? No.
Moreover, the Ukrainian authorities constantly declare that they will not negotiate with representatives of the LDNR. Thus, they themselves sabotage the implementation of the Minsk agreements.

India has 1.3 million active soldiers so we should not be worried about the ~60k PLA sitting opposite Ladakh :dude:.
I am not quite familiar with the whole history of the India-Pakistan conflict, but I suspect that your countries have a slightly different military situation.

Coercion is used not only by Russia, but also by any country that has the capacity to do so. The classic example is the United States with its military and economic power. And Europe - with its economic power in the form of sanctions.
But the game isn't over yet. There was no strict "No" answer from the USA. As there was no response from Russia. I don't think that Putin hoped to "coerce" through exercises.

Yes, yes, Russia saw how NATO "has no plans", but they began to build bases. And who is interested in the opinion of the Norwegian head of the central bank on the topic of NATO's plans? 🤔

It would seem now that the most priceless variable is now in play, Putin's authoritaris pride. If he backs down he will be seen a whimp in Russia... not good for his authority there. :creepy:
