Amid the on-going military escalation in Ukraine, there are more claims and demands from all sides involved in the conflict. While the Kiev’s “Team” constantly accuses Russia in deploying its troops near the Ukrainian border, Moscow continues its large-scale exercises all over the country’s territory. On April 13, Russian Defence Minister Sergey Shoigu spoke out in response to all the threats and accusations from his Western opponents.
On April 13, in a news conference with Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba, NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg once again expressed the alliance’s “unwavering” support for Russia’s neighbor.
“Russia must end this military build-up in and around Ukraine, stop its provocations and deescalate immediately,” he added.
In its turn, Kiev continuously asks for membership in NATO, with no result yet. However, Ukrainian officials went further and have recently proclaimed more demands to their Western partners. On April 12, the President’s chief of staff, Andriy Yermak, asked for US Patriots to be deployed on Ukrainian territory.
“Ukraine is holding the line against Russia, not just for us, but for the West,” he tells TIME. “And where does the U.S. deploy its Patriot Missiles? The closest ones are in Poland. They should be here.” – Time newspaper reported.
Russian Minister of Defence Sergei Shoigu reminded that this spring, the joint armed forces of NATO launched “Defender Europe – 2021.” In response to the Alliance’s military activities threatening Russia, it has taken appropriate measures.
NATO will concentrate 40 thousand troops and 15 thousand units of weapons and military equipment, including Strategic Air Force, near the borders of Russia, mainly in the Black Sea region and the Baltic Sea.
In Russia, the check of the Russian troops combat readiness in the Western and Southern military Districts was carried out.
Within three weeks, two armies and three units of the Airborne forces were successfully transferred to the western borders of the Russian Federation in the areas of combat exercises. The troops showed their readiness to perform tasks to ensure the country’s military security.
The exercises should be completed within two weeks.
Shoigu also noticed that American troops are being transferred from the US to Europe across the Atlantic Ocean.
“In Poland and the Baltic States, the US forces are being strengthened, the American military concept of “four by thirty” has been adopted and implemented, compared to last year, the intensity of aerial reconnaissance has been doubled and the intensity of naval reconnaissance activities has been increased.”
Every year in Europe, the alliance conducts up to 40 major operational trainings. European exercises are mainly aimed to counter Russian activities. Today, the largest NATO drills in the last 30 years are taking place near еру Russian borders. Taking into account the nonsense of NATO demands to explain the deployment of Russian forces on its own territory, Crimean MP asked the collective West to explain its military presence at the borders of Russia.
NATO can bark, it has no biting power.
That contrasts with the hard facts that the Kremlin is always responding to the NATO terrorists machinations reminding them that Russia is a major military power, while trying to engage the NATO terrorist Ziocorporate globalists in business partnership at the same time.
German Zioterrorists, for example, benefit far more from buying cheap Gazprom gas than the average Russian ever will from selling it in this post-WW2 world “order”.
“US to send 500 extra troops to Germany ‘as early as fall’, Pentagon chief says, as Berlin praises ‘strong signal of solidarity” https://www.rt.com/news/520911-us-new-troops-germany/
The US/NATO/EU terrorist Ziocorporate globalists speak only lies and distortions of reality to advance their “world order” designs. One can’t really see why the Russian govt. needs to legitimise these lies and manipulations with any kind of response.
But, unlike Nuland, the Kremlin makes it so Moscow can’t say fuck the US, fuck NATO and fuck the EU. If Russia places 100 nukes in Crimea or the Ukrainian border, that’s no one’s fucking problem and no explanations are needed.
Yet those are pipe dreams, ever since the disaster regimes of Reagan/Bush-Gorbachov and Clinton-Yeltsin, Russia has made its socioeconomic development partly interdependent on trade and business with those same Ziocorporate terrorists that right now are demanding Russia stop moving Russian troops inside Russian territory.
I know, 100 nukes there would scare the shit out of any invaders
“Crimean MP asked the collective West to explain its military presence at the borders of Russia.”
Situation is far beyond simple verbal dispute already. Very close to the conflict and point of no return…. This is not Hollywood movie. If Russia starts militarily intervention to defend Russians in Ukraine… There will be lasting, irreversible consequence for Ukraine. US-NATO will be too scared to help. So this is the last moment to wise up Ukraine !
Well atomic weapons will be used I thing.
If used at all, only tactical (because of radiation fallout ). (If used ) only for the areas with non-Russian population (Western Ukraine) But IF, NATO attacks (enters Ukraine) than it will be immediate and massive use of tactical nukes to annihilate all NATO troupes.
yup, BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM ahahahaha
So, seemingly endless flirting with “partners” is coming to an abrupt end…. Who would have thought?
Erdogan was howling in 25 years to become equal partner, and has recently declared he is ready to howl on the doormat 25 years more.
When feeling ‘low’ I will kook for you…..

Latuf.. Palestinian caricaturist living in Brazil
Delighted ;-).
Sooner Ukropisstan is balkanized the better for everyone.
ZioAssStan… They are full of these children of lucifer
No need. It will be a lovely and peaceful country after Washington DC is nuked.
Mr Shoigu, The west/NATO is bullying your country because your country allows it to. You do not reason or deal with a bully on a position of weakness. Notice that Biden just asked your leader for a meeting in a third country to discuss the current state of affair between our two countries, that’s because of your country recent willingness to use force against Ukraine if necessary. You see — when a bully sees you in a position of strength, he/she shows you the respect that you deserve.
Mr Shoiguis not much politician, he is more commander of the military.
putin/russia can control entire earth if they desire
Together they will partner with China, Iran.
They think they have to do with Libya, who accepted the disarmament and then was destroyed, but Russia is not Libya, and NATO can not even dream of being compared to the Wehrmacht, which even lasted a few years before be defeated, NATO is a pile of clowns whose sole purpose in life is to steal a rich salary, but it will not only be the Ukrainian youth to escape from the conscription, even the NATO soldiers will dissolve at the first shots.
This is true.
Twenty of Russia’s BM-30 SMERCH rocket launchers can devastate an area the size of big city ( or 12.8 square miles) in few minutes . Not to mention anything else of Russian fire power…. http://www.strategic-bureau.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/BM-30-Smerch-006.jpg
They have guidance system upgrades that can minimize collateral damage. And hit armor in motion.
yes guided rockets option… to “minimize collateral damage” is euphemism (even for US standards) with 300 mm (12 in) caliber …. Personally I would not like to be nowhere near that thing when exploding.
So the counter part US/Nato have nothing? US/Nato are pure mosqueton.
I didn’t say that. It is already traditionally dominating branches of army (ever since SSSR days). Missiles, artillery, tanks. US is navy and specially air force.
Yes, they readily have brown pants.. behind. Like in the black sea a few years ago when the freedom upholders in Russia used electronic warfare aircraft on the zio terrorist US vessel which became dead in the waters. Near 100 sailors abandoned the navy as soon as they were back in port. A load of pampers… Soiled, had to be dumped.
It would make great title for Hollywood blockbuster; “Brown pants from the Black sea!”
🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣
Pretty much a fact to be frank,not much counter to emp + hypersonic + 40 million*
With room to spare…

Very informative.
Yawnnn
Why do you write this?
Sorry for the people in Ukraine that have nothing to do with their government stupidity in the other hand Russia will get rid of Ukraine once and for all….now propose names for the new oblast.
Russia thinks we are doing the same thing as Hitler did, building up slowly Operation Barbarossa. We are not. We are smarter. We always analyse a situation from our fights for freedoms in a professional and scientific research way with Science, and Russia dont. Russia only knows the “grinding down strategy”.
Hmm if we had been smarter we would have not gone into Korea Nam Iraq Afghanistan where we couldn’t beat a bunch of goat herders armed with K-47, it seems your ignorance knows no bounds or limitations..
Hahahahaha OK please enlighten us how you are now smarter than hitler
not these days ,bad enough last century however they got to the cccp yes,but this is now all the vexated lgbtq/cursed/invalid/ineffective/scientific measures cannot counter speed! Prepare to go down in the future,mind your own bullsht and butt out of others prosperities.
russia should not be concerned, it has power to take over entire world
Looks like Shoigu has just about had it perhaps its time the west puts on its diapers.
They already did and have stock up on plenty… They know it will be needed if Russia react
The dude looks PISSED!!!!
Of course he is pissed! Look! Putin gave him only ONE medal so far !
They can deploy the patriot missiles anywhere they want ,they dont work. Just ask the Saudis ;}
If zioNato makes ONE mistake on Russian border… HAMMER THEM TO THE MAX!!! Only when you push back a Zio dog bully, onky then they open their eyes and realise their futility.
