WAR DRUMS: Ukraine says Russia amassed 100K troops near border, Blinken raises ‘real concerns’ of invasion

We have an incredibly weak and incompetent Administration leading America. This is the result. The stability of the world in a freefall. Millions of Americans made one of the worst mistakes of their lives when they voted against President Trump because of his tweets and demeanor.

Ukraine says Russia amassed 100K troops near border, Blinken raises ‘real concerns’ of invasion

Satellite images released Nov. 8 showed an estimated 90,000 troops at the border

By Fox News, November 14, 2021

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has claimed that Russia amassed nearly 100,000 troops near his country’s border as concerns over an invasion continue to mount.

Zelenskyy said that the action made it clear to the world “who really wants peace and who is concentrating nearly 100,000 soldiers at our border” during a video speech broadcast Wednesday on his website.

Russia has dismissed any suggestions of an attack as inflammatory, instead complaining about increased activity by NATO in the region, Reuters reported.

American officials consulted European allies on the situation, warning that Russia could attempt to invade the country in the near future.

On Thursday, Russia claimed one of its fighter jets forced a British spy plane to change course after flying near Crimea, The Independent reported.

Satellite images released Nov. 8 showed an estimated 90,000 Russian troops gathered at the Ukrainian border, prompting House Republicans to petition President Biden to deploy troops to the region. Retired Lieutenant General Ben Hodges told Fox News correspondent Jacqui Heinrich that Russia’s recent movements are a continuation of “what started back in April.”

“They never really went back to their barracks, even though the Minister of Defense [Sergey] Shoigu said they were,” Hodges claimed, describing the new movement as “the next phase.”

He cautioned that Russia’s first move would not be a tank or a gunshot, but a cyber strike or “maybe turning off the gas or something” to create disruption.

U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken briefly discussed the situation at the Ukrainian border during a joint strategic dialogue last week, warning that Russia needs to avoid making “a serious mistake.”
