- 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.’
As I said the other day. If fighting breaks out and Russia gets directly involved, if the Russians don’t win within 1 week, they will use tactical nukes.
This is not a question of Russia winning of losing. This is a question of getting bogged down in a protracted conflict.
The Russians know that there’s a high chance of a provocative incident accouring elsewhere, probably in Northern Europe.
By moving a nuclear capable launch system to the Ukraine front, Putin is sending a message and he is giving himself the option to end the Ukraine war in double short order.
If fighting breaks out, study the local weather, because this will provide info on when Putin might use tactical nukes… he’ll want an Easterly wind… screw the EU… reap what you sow.
If you think this won’t happen, then you’re a fool. The Russians have been kicked about the park, maligned by the fake news, faced imposed illegal sanctions. The Russians have had enough, not even Putin can stand the nose rubbing much more.
The West is desperate for war because they are bankrupt. There won’t be a recovery. Even when Western economies are flatlining, their trade deficits are going through the roof… all because the bankers wanted their bonuses.
1990 was an unusual time, when it was possible to steal a lot of land off Russia for a perception opposite to the truth. Communism was not being rolled back, a nationalist Russia was. Today Russia has assembled its strength and is not giving up more land.
The US has sent its forces across an ocean and two continents to antagonise Russia in Ukraine but says Russia which has sent forces to patrol inside its own borders is acting aggressively.
I see that the Daily Fail is again pushing the narrative that ‘it’s all Russias fault’ that Ukranian paramilitary thugs are shelling civilian homes in the Donbass again.These criminal actions are with the full agreement of the illegal Ukie junta, along with the US, Poland,Lithuania and or course the UK.
At least WW3 would incinerate all the Covid nonsense in the UK 🙂
I notice that the Daily Mail fails to mention the decree about retaking Crimea that Zelensky published March 24th – effectively a declaration of war.
Yours is the salient point, Thomas Faber!
I notice the Daily Wail stating the falsehood that the missile that shot the Malaysian jet down was fired from “rebel” held areas.
But no surprise from this odious rag. At least before the internet one could find a use for tabloids as toilet paper, but what to do with online rags?
Russia has been the backbone in the world for the national sovereignty movement for nations to control their own turf and resources, which flies directly in the face of the globalist movement. The question is whether or not the Western-based international banking cartel behind the globalist movement can pull off its plans for centralized global control over finances, resources and trade without the control of Russian turf dominating Asia? Also, we have to ask if it is that case that the cartel and the MIC thrive mostly on wars and their aftermath – making huge profits with the productive means of war with all of the lending for destruction, increasing the demand for their loans and fiat money, and then in the aftermath the same scenario for the rebuilding but with the cartel expanding its reach into conquered turf? If that is the case then this same cartel which exponentially expanded its global reach in the wars of the 20th century can be trusted to start a war against Russia. However this time round if there is a major war, the cartel itself will not be allied with Russia and many in the West would hope that the cartel people themselves and the all of the warmongering globalist potentates would be their principal targets.
if the russians nuke the west they should first
nuke the place were rothschilds + rockefellers are
hiding. they are the crown of all evil !
