Is Putin about to declare WAR on the Ukraine ? - Russian - Ukraine War - New Cold War 2

Sky News - Live Blog: Reports the following in its 2.08pm post, " Putin could formally declare war on Ukraine on 9 May - report.....Mr Putin could officially declare war on Ukraine as soon as 9 May - known as "Victory Day" in Russia - according to CNN.  "

Lets Get Real:

One can see why President Putin would do this, the Russian Army has suffered heavy loses in the Ukraine, not something you can hide forever, thus the PR aim will be to make the Russian people support the WAR, even if its against their better judgement, also it will be interesting to see who he declares WAR ON, will it only be the Ukraine, could Putin want to expand his WAR AIMS, and go for Moldova and be a even greater THREAT to NATO Countries, could Putin warn NATO that any more military support for Ukraine could lead Putin to declare WAR on individual NATO Countries OR on NATO itself.  The declaration of WAR will be very risky for Putin, if he fails, his literal head could be on the chopping block, let's recall what happened to Tsar Nicholas 11 and his family in Siberia in 1918.  Thus will Putin really take that risk, and how far is he willing to push it, would he ever use WMD in Ukraine, low level nuclear weapons, its endless the ways Putin could cause death and destruction in Europe.  NATO better be ready for all things, Putin is after all EX KGB. 

Moldova Update - Russian - Ukraine War - New Cold War 2

Sky News - Live Blog: Reports in its 1.56pm post the following, " Russia ready to use Transnistria to move on Moldova or Ukraine, Ukrainian official says....Ukraine's deputy defence minister has claimed Russia will use the Moldovan breakaway region of Transnistria to launch a further attack on Ukraine or on Moldova.  "

Lets Get Real:

What the Russians really want is to change the political outlook of the WAR in the Ukraine, they want to return to the old system, when the US and the USSR would deal with any problem and the outside world looked on, one assumes that Putin thinks he can bully a weak Biden, that Biden cannot take the pressure of a WAR that could last for months, also the Kremlin wants to bring in other STATES, thus the concern as stated by the Kremlin about the safety of Russian speakers in Moldova, the Russians have 1,500 troops there already, they could launch a false flag operation, recent incidents suggest that is what the Kremlin is looking for, the Kremlin wants the whole of the East and Southern Ukraine and Moldova.  The Moldova Government is weak, the West should consider a security guarantee for Moldova as way to warn Kremlin off any attack.

Moldova UNDER THREAT from Russia - Russian - Ukraine War - New Cold War 2

Guardian - Live Blog: Reports in its 1.53pm post the following, " Moldova’s president, Maia Sandu, has been speaking at a press briefing following a meeting of the country’s security council after a series of blasts were reported in the Russian-backed separatist Transnistria region.  "

Lets Get Real:

The Russians are up to their usual games again in Moldova, the separatist  region of Transnistria wants to be part of the Russian Federation, one can expect more bombs in the region and the Russians will create a reason for their forces to take the area if they can take ODESA then move to Moldova to protect Russian speakers.  Thus it is good news that the Germans will send tanks to Ukraine, in that they are following the lead of Poland.  The Kyiv Government also needs jets, if the Poles can give tanks, what is the difference with fighters jets, the Ukrainian Air Force needs old new planes as to allow their fighter crew to attack the Russians in the Donbas region.  The WEST if it has the nerve can prevent Russia winning and taking the whole of the Eastern and Southern Ukraine and the Transnistria Region of Moldova.  The West cannot afford to lose this WAR, Putin must be stopped in Ukraine for the welfare of Western Security and to prevent World War 3.
