16 April 202119:28 Foreign Ministry statement on measures in response to hostile US actions
The latest attack by the Biden administration against our country cannot go unanswered. It seems Washington is unwilling to accept that there is no room for unilateral dictates in the new geopolitical reality. Meanwhile, the bankrupt scenarios for deterring Moscow that the US myopically continues to pursue only promise to further degrade Russian-US relations. In this context, the appeals from across the ocean to refrain from escalation and essentially accept this attempt to talk to us from a position of strength sound hypocritical. We have repeatedly warned and demonstrated in practice that sanctions and any other pressure will never succeed and will only have dire consequences for those who dare attempt such provocations. We will introduce the following countermeasures in response to anti-Russian sanctions in the near future: Employees of US diplomatic missions will be expelled on a reciprocal basis in numbers proportional to the actions taken by the US authorities against Russian diplomats. Incidentally, we noted how quickly Warsaw played up to the US administration by demanding the departure of three Russian diplomats from Poland. In turn, five Polish diplomats will be expelled from Russia. The US Embassy’s practice of using short-term trips by State Department staff to support the functioning of diplomatic missions will be restricted. The issuance of visas to them will be reduced to a minimum: up to 10 people per year on a reciprocal basis. In strict conformity with the Vienna conventions on diplomatic relations and Russian law, including the Labour Code, measures will be taken to discontinue completely the practice of US diplomatic missions employing citizens of the Russian Federation and third countries as administrative and technical staff. The bilateral 1992 memorandum of understanding on open ground is declared invalid due to systematic violations of rules for trips in the Russian Federation by employees of US diplomatic missions. Plans are in place to halt the activities in the Russian Federation of American foundations and NGOs controlled by the Department of State and other US government agencies. These consistent, long-term efforts will be brought to an end, all the more so since the United States shows no intention of scaling back its systematic subversive efforts underpinned by a wide array of laws. Obviously, this very tense situation objectively requires the ambassadors of our countries to be in their respective capitals to analyse developments and hold consultations. Continued at linkGiven that Biden is senile and incompetent, it’s not a case of ‘could get very ugly, very quickly’, but WILL get very ugly, very quickly.

Don't forget, the Bidens (father and son) are involved with Ukraine. US sanctions could spark Russian invasion of eastern Ukraine, Russian state media claims
The editor in chief of RT, Margarita Simonyan, has warned of a strong Russian response to United States sanctions on the country and the expulsion of ten diplomats SHARE 7COMMENTS ByWill StewartMilo BoydReporter 19:26, 15 APR 2021 US sanctions on Russia could be met with a full-scale invasion of eastern Ukraine, according to the editor in chief of the Kremlin-funded RT.

The action came amid a build-up of Russian troops and armour close to Ukraine’s eastern border and in occupied Crimea. link

Russia paints 'invasion stripes' on assault vehicles as forces gather near Ukraine border
EXCLUSIVE: Russia will soon have an assault force of 107,000 troops along Ukraine's border, with an estimated 1,300 battle tanks, 3,700 drones, 1,300 artillery and mortar units and 380 multiple launch rocket systems SHARE 108COMMENTS ByChris HughesDefence and Security Editor 21:09, 14 APR 2021UPDATED21:14, 14 APR 2021 Russian forces massing on Ukraine’s border have daubed assault vehicles with ominous “invasion stripes,” heightening fears of all-out war breaking out. The Daily Mirror can also exclusively reveal that Russia will soon have a staggering assault force of 107,000 troops amassed at Ukraine’s border. It is far more than previously thought and emerged in documents leaked to the Mirror which include shocking details on the Russian firepower involved. Ukrainian military estimates of the advancing force include 1,300 battle tanks, 3,700 drones, 1,300 artillery and mortar units and 380 multiple launch rocket systems. The shocking numbers of troops alone represents at least 35,000 more Russian frontline troops more than the entire British Army following defence cuts. The Russian force includes an estimated 1,300 tanks Yesterday in Astrakhan, 350 miles from the frontline, Russian BTR 80 armoured vehicles painted with invasion stripes were spotted heading in convoy to the railway station. The appearance of these markings has escalated alarm amongst military experts who have drawn attention to similar stripes on tanks used by the Soviet Army during then 1968 invasion of Czechoslovakia. The stripes help identify vehicles to friendly forces. Continued at link

UK blames 'malicious' Russian spies for cyberattack as US expels 10 diplomats
Tensions have ratcheted up between Western powers and Moscow after the UK and US teamed up to announce blame and - in Washington's case - a wave of action against Russia SHARE 3COMMENTS ByDan BloomOnline Political Editor 15:09, 15 APR 2021 The UK has officially blamed Russia's "malicious" SVR foreign intelligence service for a major cyber-attack on the West. Tensions ratcheted up between Western powers and Moscow today after a joint statement by the UK and US condemning Russia. The two nations said the SVR was responsible for the so-called SolarWinds hack, which hit 18,000 organisations including the US government. US President Joe Biden also announced he would expel 10 Russian diplomats including intelligence operatives from Washington. The UK has not announced any expulsions of Russian diplomats today. While such action is not ruled out in future, there are fewer opportunities to expel diplomats from within the UK as many were already expelled after the Salisbury Novichok attack. Continued at link

^^^^^^^ These are t80bvm's...
The t80bvm Is the newest most up to date version of the t80 and is definitely some of the premiere tanks Russians field in any significant numbers.
You should also note that several of these t80bvm's very noticeably have their supplemental bag ERA kits installed.
Said bag ERA is pretty much something you will only see installed for war time conditions since it's quite easy to steal and will physically require maintenance and reconditioning after a given number of operating hours riding around physically installed on the tank.
That's one of those things that is a strong indicator of russia taking this situation very seriously... (The ukrainians have at least 360 javelin missiles and somewhat under 100 javelin command launch units)

So much going on it's getting hard to keep up. I expect the next few weeks will be very interesting. Kremlin says Turkey can be persuaded towards Russia’s stance on Crimea, but Kiev unlikely
The relationships that Turkey is building with neighboring countries fall within the state’s sovereign right, the spokesman pointed out MOSCOW, April 16. /TASS/. Russia can eventually convince Turkey that Moscow’s position on Crimea is right but it is hardly possible to convey this to Ukraine, Kremlin Spokesman Dmitry Peskov said on Friday. READ ALSO Erdogan tells Zelensky Turkey will not recognize ‘Crimea’s annexation’ “Their statements on Crimea refer to a category of issues, on which we still have serious disagreements,” Peskov noted. “These disagreements can hardly be settled with the Ukrainian side, but we hope that our consistent line will make it possible to convince our Turkish partners after all that their current position on Crimea is quite wrong,” the Russian presidential spokesman said. The relationships that Turkey is building with neighboring countries fall within the state’s sovereign right, Peskov pointed out. Continued at link

Russia, UK bolster Black Sea presence amid latest Ukraine row
Both Moscow and Kyiv have expelled a diplomat in the latest escalation of tensions. TURKEY-RUSSIA-DEFENCE-NAVY BY JOSHUA POSANER April 18, 2021 12:27 pm Russia and Britain are both sending warships to the Black Sea as tensions between Moscow and Ukraine simmer following dueling diplomat expulsions over the weekend. Moscow deployed two warships through the Bosphorus on Saturday and is sending additional smaller ships from its Caspian and Baltic fleets all aimed at bolstering its presence in the Black Sea, according to Reuters and Russian media reports. The movements come on top of Russia’s massive troop build-up along its border with Ukraine in recent weeks, prompting fears of a possible invasion. Russia annexed the Ukrainian region of Crimea in 2014, and skirmishes have continued at a low level along the border ever since. Western allies have rallied behind Ukraine over Moscow’s military aggression, but have stopped short of committing to additional military aid or sanctions. Continued at link

Translation: Three critical 24 hours bring border change: Russia announces Union with Belarus and doubles border with NATO - Ukraine disbanded:
April 21 is when the Russian President addresses the combined upper and lower houses of the Duma, regarding the situation in Donbas. President Pushilin of the Donetsk People's Republic sent a request for aid earlier, and this will be Putin's response.
People are asking, if the speech was already written, why is Putin waiting a week to deliver it? The thinking is that he gave NATO an ultimatum to withdraw their troop from the border and gave them a week to comply.
May 2 is Orthodox Pascha (Easter). Traditionally western Europeans bomb the Slavs on Easter because Brussels and Berlin side with the antiChrist. The thinking is that if the Russians don't attack on April 21, NATO will attack on May 2.

There is simply too much happening and too much BS tied up in all this,now. Both sides have much to lose by not fighting' previously it was a game because there was nothing to lose by playing chicken and all sides were invested in not going to war.
That’s gone now, By not fighting Russia is finished, the NWO is on the border and trying to color revolution Russia but by the same token, the NWO cannot allow an independent Russia.
Besides, China wants Taiwan like right NOW, what better way then to have their puppet US govt start WW3. But China won’t stop with Taiwan FYI just like Russia won’t stop with Ukraine

Czech PM says Russia did NOT attack country, alleged blowing up of munition depot was ‘not act of state terrorism’
19 Apr, 2021 17:12 / Updated 11 hours ago Russia “did not attack” the Czech Republic and the 2014 explosions at the Vrbětice arms depot were “not state terrorism,” Czech Prime Minister Andrej Babis told reporters, but insisted the ‘GRU’ was still involved in the blast. “It was not an act of state terrorism, which means that Russia did not attack the Czech Republic,” Babis said on Monday. “Once again – it was not an act of state terrorism, it was an attack on goods belonging to a Bulgarian arms dealer.” He maintained, however, that the presence of ‘GRU’ agents in Czechia is “absolutely unacceptable” and that they “messed up” the alleged attack. Babis’ remarks seemed to be a partial climb-down from Prague’s position over the weekend, as Czechia expelled 18 Russian diplomats and blamed the seven-year-old incident on alleged agents of Russian military intelligence – the same two fingered by the NATO-backed outfit Bellingcat as culprits in the 2018 Salisbury 'novichok poisoning' incident.
