Clashes And Shelling Between Ukrainian Troops And Rebels

Clashes and shelling between Ukrainian troops and Russian-backed rebels, Russia said, creating war hysteria in the West.

Russia’s military deployment on the Ukraine border has not decreased but increased. This has come to the fore from the latest satellite photos.

The US has termed the announcement of the withdrawal of Russia’s troops as wrong. Meanwhile, there are reports of shelling between the Ukrainian army and the Russian-backed rebels.

These rebels are barricaded in the area under their control. It is believed that in the event of Russia’s attack on Ukraine, these rebels will also try to move forward from their occupied territory.

Western countries, including the US, have said that the Russian army is increasing its preparations on the Ukraine border.

More armored vehicles, attack helicopters, and field hospitals are being seen there than before. About seven thousand more soldiers have also been seen near the border.

US Secretary of State Antony Blinken has said that we are keeping an eye on the Ukraine border. There is no evidence of reduced Russian deployment there.

NATO member state Estonia, which is close to Russia, has said that ten attacking squads of the Russian army have reached near the Ukrainian border.

Estonia’s chief of intelligence, Mick Maran, has claimed that there are about 170,000 Russian troops on the borders of Ukraine.

In the event of an attack, it would begin with missile strikes, bombings, and then capture of critical locations.

Video of the return of Russian soldiers and tanks was also released.

While the Russian Defense Ministry has said that the troops are now being withdrawn after military exercises in areas close to Ukraine.

It may take a few days for their return. The ministry has accused Western countries of creating war hysteria in the region.

The Defense Ministry has also released a video of the return of Russian soldiers and tanks. But Western countries claim that this video is from 2014 after the Russian occupation of Crimea.

Meanwhile, Ukraine has increased the deployment of its troops along the Belarus border.

Clashes and shelling: There is also a possibility of a Russian attack from this border.

The people of Ukraine are raising their spirits amid fears of a Russian attack. They are waving the national flag, singing patriotic songs, and showing solidarity.

Seeing no reduction in Russia’s attitude, NATO has decided to increase military deployment in Bulgaria, Romania, Hungary, and Slovakia.

All these countries were earlier friendly countries of Russia. America has announced to send five thousand additional troops to Poland and Romania.

Britain has also announced to double its troops in Estonia and send tanks and armored vehicles there.

Russia expels the deputy head of the US embassy.

Russia on Thursday expelled Bart Gorman, deputy head of the US embassy in Moscow, from the country. Russia has taken this step amid the tense situation with the US on the Ukraine issue.

Russian government spokesman Jason Rebhoj gave no reason behind the decision to expel the senior diplomat. Russia is angry with the US not responding to Russia’s security proposal.

In this resolution, there was a demand for Ukraine not to join NATO. It is believed that this is the main reason for Gorman’s expulsion.
