Despite the “announcements” of the Western media, the invasion of Russian troops into Ukraine on February 15-16 did not happen. Russian President Vladimir Putin had to retreat from his plans, says Russian political scientist and publicist Andrei Piontkovsky.
The publicist assessed the statements about the withdrawal of troops from the border positively and singled out three reasons why this is happening. This writes ” Apostrophe “.
He named the readiness of the Ukrainian army and society for resistance as the first reason. The second is the readiness of the United States to provide serious military support to Ukraine and impose tough anti-Russian sanctions.
“In recent weeks, literally before our eyes, a third reason has appeared – one after another there have been important speeches by influential military of the Russian Federation. Yes, retired, but those who are highly respected in the army and special services, and who sharply condemned Putin’s attempts to start a full-scale war against Ukraine. This showed that not only the liberals who sign petitions against the war , but also the so-called “Putin’s deep people” and the vast majority of military personnel are very strongly opposed to this war,” Piotkovsky said.

According to the expert, the combination of these three factors forced Putin to retreat.
“This is a victory primarily for Ukraine, which stimulated the first two factors with its readiness for fierce resistance,” Piontkovsky explained.

Fascist imperialism is an incredibly evil concept that Russia has embraced as enthusiastically as they did Marxist Leninism.
The current evil motherfucker that runs that benighted land has not given up his hopes of a takeover. Ukrainians are still in danger and the threat level remains incredibly high.
Threatening an invasion is itself an act of terror. Apart from the fear it inflicts on people; especially the elderly, business leaders cannot formulate strategies and confidence falls. Ukraine is taking a severe economic hit. A $billion here and a $billion there from so-called friends is just chicken feed.
The provision of lethal weaponry is still not nearly enough. It needs to be increased. Plus Patriot systems need to be installed urgently.
Biden still refuses to provide US forces. Here’s what he must now do:
Provide batteries of cruise missiles with trainers. If God forbid, missiles start flying into Kyiv, then the putinazis need to know that they will be raining down on Muscovy too.
Let’s hope that putin will continue being too frightened to attack.
