A large-scale provocation of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the LPR will be carried out using American weapons, PolitRussia reports.
According to the American television channel Fox News, on Tuesday, January 25, another batch of lethal weapons from the United States was sent to Ukraine. Defense aid units from Washington include at least 300 Javelin-class anti-tank missiles.
The cost of one set of ATGMs with six missiles in reserve varies from $600,000 to $1.4 million. The next batch of US military aid was previously announced by Pentagon spokesman John Kirby.
Russia has repeatedly stressed that it has no plans to seize the territories of neighboring states. The collective West, however, began to listen to Moscow’s position against the backdrop of an ultimatum form of demands for mutual security guarantees in Eastern Europe. Apparently, only the American establishment retains selfish motives in the Ukrainian conflict.
Veteran of military operations in Afghanistan, military expert, reserve colonel Anatoly Matviychuk believes that missile systems from the United States arrived in Ukraine not at all in order to defend themselves from the “Russian invasion”.
“Of course, Javelin complexes increase the power of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. But in itself, this delivery is very scanty – only 300 missiles. Moreover, in a full-scale war, these anti-tank systems are absolutely useless, since the same combat aircraft flies at altitudes much higher than the range of these systems. But they are perfect for provocations against the militia of the Donetsk and Lugansk people’s republics. And it is for this purpose that America supplies weapons to Ukraine”, explains the expert.
Soldiers of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, according to reports, are planning a large-scale provocation on the territory of the LDNR in order to draw Moscow into an armed conflict. The Russian side will be forced to bring in peacekeepers in order to protect the civilian population of Donbass. Expert of the Center for Military-Political Journalism, Deputy Chairman of the interregional public organization “Veche” Vladimir Orlov believes that the West is deliberately escalating tension on the line of contact.
“Now we see that the West is actively spinning the flywheel of the conflict in Ukraine. All Western arms deliveries do not match the degree of tension and hysteria that the Western establishment is fanning with stories about the “Russian invasion”. Kiev is supplied with weapons that can be used as part of provocations on the line of contact, to shell civilians in Donbass. But against Russia, all these weapons are meaningless. They do not play a big role”, summed up the military expert.
The White House administration decided to play the world-famous card with a provocation by the hands of controlled militants. However, the world community and, in particular, Russia have long been familiar with the aggressive rhetoric of Washington, which will presumably lead to the failure of the operation against the backdrop of awareness of their actions.
Earlier, News Front said that the British publication accused Russia of panicking Western countries.
