Russia warns ‘the beginning of the end of Ukraine’ will be imminent if it ‘has to defend its citizens’

Apr 9, 2021 

Nuclear capable 2S4 Tyulpan self-propelled mortar system is moved by rail to the Krasnodar region.

  • Kremlin official referred to having to defend civilians from a ‘second Srebrenica’
  • Moscow claims that Ukraine is inflaming tensions by beefing up border security 
  • It comes as new footage emerged showing tanks being transported to frontier 
  • Vladimir Putin insists deployment is defensive and to check ‘combat readiness’

A senior Kremlin official today warned that if Russia is forced to defend its citizens in the disputed Donbass region it would be ‘the beginning of the end Ukraine.’

Tensions have soared in eastern Ukraine in recent weeks after Vladimir Putin dispatched tanks, helicopters and thousands of troops to the Ukrainian border.

Ukraine’s president Volodymyr Zelenskiy flew into Donbass today in a new show of strength as he shook hands with soldiers along the frontier which separates them from Russian-backed rebels

Putin insists the build up of military hardware close to the border is defensive and that upcoming drills are part of routine ‘combat readiness’ inspections.

But the deputy head of Russia’s presidential administration, Dmitry Kozak, continued the Kremlin’s tough rhetoric today, as he warned: ‘The start of military action – this would be the beginning of the end of Ukraine.’

Kozak was asked if Russia would protect its citizens in eastern Ukraine.

Referring in his reply to Srebrenica, where about 8,000 Muslim men and boys were killed by Bosnian Serb forces during Bosnia’s 1992-1995 war, he said: ‘It all depends on the scale of the fire. If there is, as our president says, Srebrenica, apparently we will have to step in to defend (them).’

Putin has made previous analogies to a ‘second Srebrenica’ if Ukraine does not submit to an amnesty on new border lines which have emerged since the conflict started in 2014.

Putin today accused Ukraine of ‘provocative actions’ in a phone call with German Chancellor Angela Merkel.

Russia has used trains to transport large numbers of military vehicles close to its border with Ukraine in recent weeks.

The president’s words reflect the masses of military hardware which has been seen being ferried for thousands of miles to the border region.

Footage emerged today showing a Buk missile system in the in Voronezh region which borders Ukraine, amid new fears that Moscow could be massing an invasion-capable force.

The weapons system was used in rebel-held Donetsk region in 2014 to down a Malaysia Airlines Boeing 777 killing 298 people.

More footage shows the nuclear-capable 2S4 Tyulpan self-propelled mortar system being moved on a military train in Krasnodar region.

New satellite images have also revealed a field camp for Russian forces in the same region as the BUK was seen.

The Conflict Intelligence Team (CIT) highlighted the base which has appeared in recent days.

Ruslan Leviev, from CIT, told BBC Ukraine: ‘We notice the movement of all the units.

‘These are both “Pskov paratroopers” and motorised infantry units – they are for example, from the Kemerovo region of Siberia, and from Dagestan.’
