Has Putin just stated the HIS justification for invading the Ukraine - Ukraine Crisis

Guardian - Live Blog: Reports the following in its 2.44pm post, " Russian president Vladimir Putin has said there has been no constructive response to Russia’s proposals on security and once again claimed there are “human rights violations” in the Donbass in eastern Ukraine.  "

Lets Get Real:

WHY is Putin playing the same record if he is going to withdraw troops, as stated the removal of troops from the borders of the Ukraine could have been done just to get some better tv news coverage before the new German Chancellor arrived.  It will be interesting to see what happens after the meeting between the Putin and the German Chancellor, will there be more troop withdrawals or does Russia invade.  One expects that the NSA in the US and GCHQ will be following communication traffic from the troops in the area.  The military satellites in orbit will be able to tell if the Russians are really removing troops and their equipment.  If the Russians leave the heavy kit it can be argued that the removal of troops is a faint, that the troops can return.  It seems that Putin will use human rights violations in East Ukraine as a reason to invade.  The Russian Bear doe not change that much, it still has sharp claws.

UK PM Johnson on RUSSIAN THREAT - Ukraine Crisis

Daily Mail: Reports " Boris warns Russia is still building FIELD HOSPITALS on Ukraine border as he urges West to stay 'tough and united' - saying Putin is giving 'mixed signals' on invasion and must order full troop withdrawal "

Lets Get Real:

The UK PM is right, the West should not celebrate YET, lets see if the Russians remove their new bases on the Russian border, around hundred thousand troops and air support.  Also will the Russians remove their troops from Belarus after the military games, also the troops in the Crimea have moved from the old bases to new bases on the border, that is a short distance to remove their troops.   Putin one doubts is going to go back to his bear cave, he has see that the West has reacted as one when it comes to the Ukraine, this might have been a surprise to him, he might have expected some links weak links in the Allies.  As has been noticed in his meetings with other World Leaders and his own Ministers, he keeps them at a great distance, one is starting to question the information he is getting and from who, his kitchen cabinet could be telling him what he want to HEAR, that is a problem.  Thus the West has to keep its eyes and ears open, the Russian Bear might RAW back to life and fast.

UK weary of Russian to remove troops from its border - Ukraine Crisis

Sky News - Live Blog: Reports in its 1.31pm post the following, " Despite Russia's claims that it has pulled back some troops from the Ukrainian border, the UK government still seems concerned about an imminent attack....Foreign Secretary Liz Truss tweeted this out only a couple of hours ago, warning Russia could invade Ukraine "at any moment".

Lets Get Real:

We live in age of disinformation so the Russian Bear could be playing games, it has seen how UNITED the WEST has been and might decide it better to wait a while and keep its forces on the border and take action when it feels it can get away with it, that is a problem for the NATO Countries, do they still increase their troops presence at the front line or can they go back to their regular bases.  It might be that the Kremlin has not expected a united front, it might have thought that France or Germany might weaken, the Germans have a new Left wing Government and gets most of its gas from the Russians, the Biden Oval has made it clear that the German and Russian pipeline would not be allowed to operate if Russia invades the Ukraine.  The Russian Bear might give the impression of hibernation plan but its still has it claws out and its eyes set on the Ukraine.

Are the Russians really withdrawing Troops from Ukraine Border ? - Ukraine Crisis

BBC News - Live Blog: Reports in its 12.13pm post the following, " Jens Stoltenberg, the Nato secretary-general, is speaking to reporters in Brussels. "We haven't seen any de-escalation so far" by Russia on the borders with Ukraine, he says. "

Lets Get Real:

The Russians are saying that there drills have come to end and thus removing their troops, and Gipper would have said, TRUST but VERIFY, one is sure that NATO has the latest up to date satellite images from its member states, this could be a FAIT by Moscow, say they are moving then attack when the West is dealing with another crisis down the road, it could be Iran and its nuclear ambitions or China with Taiwan, the hundred and thirty thousand Soldiers on the Ukraine border are still there, if PUTIN was going to move them it would take some time, and it depends how far they are moving, are those Eastern Troops going back to the China border or are they staying close.  It will be interesting to see what Putin says at the presser with the new German Chancellor.  The CIA, MI6, NSA AND GCHQ in the UK needs to keeps it ears open, something does not feel right, Putin has given in to easily.
