Kiev requested an expansion of the American military presence in Ukraine

59

Ukraine has asked the United States to increase the military presence of American troops on the territory of the country, first of all, this concerns instructors participating in the training program for military personnel of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. This was stated by the Ukrainian Prime Minister Denis Shmygal.

Kiev intends to expand the training program for the Armed Forces of Ukraine with the help of foreign instructors, therefore, requested the expansion of the American mission in Ukraine. According to Shmygal, Kiev wants to involve American instructors not only in training at the Yavoriv training ground in the Lviv region, but in other training centers.



In turn, Washington is not against an increase in the American military presence in Ukraine and, if necessary, will gladly expand its mission.

As US Charge d'Affaires in Ukraine Christina Kvin said, today there are 160 American troops in Ukraine on a permanent basis, but if necessary, their number can be increased.

Currently, the bulk of foreign instructors teaching the Armed Forces of Ukraine are American and Canadian military personnel, the first of whom arrived in Ukraine back in 2015. The main place of training is the Yavoriv training ground in the Lviv region. It was repeatedly reported about the appearance of American instructors in the area of ​​the demarcation line in the Donbass, where, according to the intelligence of the republics, they "took offsets" in practice from trained servicemen of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

At the same time, in Kiev, they announced their desire to place an American military base in Ukraine, but for some reason the United States is in no hurry to do this. Most likely, they do not want to finally get involved in a conflict with Russia.

                The Ukrainian authorities have long dreamed of dragging the United States into Ukraine and dragging the Americans into a war with Russia. Vlad Shurygin spoke about the US intention to create THREE bases in Ukraine in six months. Is it true? In light of the fierce US attack on Russia, it looks like it.

        Whatever people like Shmyhal and other brothers think of themselves, the Yankees are not fools and will not defend the Ukrainian regime with their breasts. They did not make this mess in order to lay their bones for the mythical independence of Ukraine, so the landfill in the west of Ukraine is a thousand times dearer to them than the Donbass trenches.

        Since 2014. It's amazing how they are not there yet? Uncle Sam has aged, not the same. They are leaving Afgan. Most likely Ukraine is in the role of a bargaining chip.

        ... The first thing bloggers say is that the Americans are trying with all their might to prevent the completion of the construction of Nord Stream 2. If it is completed, it means the beginning of a long-term alliance between Russia and Germany. “The Anglo-Saxon lobby has been doing everything for many centuries to destroy such an alliance. Otherwise, both countries will mutually increase the power of each other in all areas, including the military. In addition, another center of power will emerge along with the United States and China, ”the authors write.

        And they add that after Biden "presented" his representative for SP2 to everyone, he simply "opened the cards" showing the real tasks of this representative. And none of the problems of Ukraine itself were included in these “maps”. The American president agreed to this because there were a couple of kilometers more, and the construction of the gas pipeline would be completed. Thus, the role of Ukraine itself was shown, which consists in provoking Moscow and aggravating the situation in Donbass. After that, Washington will impose a package of sanctions that stop any activity of Nord Stream 2.

        Twill Laying 2
        Second. The whole story related to Billingcat and the like is just an element of White House pressure on Ukrainian President Zelensky. The goal of such a campaign is to force Ze to open hostilities and involve Russia. Again, that there was a reason for the sanctions measures introduced, including by Germany. The Germans will never simply take inappropriate actions. There must be a suitable reason for this.

        Third. Moscow itself is in a hurry to complete the construction of the gas pipeline. Ms. Merkel does not have much time left to "rule" the country, and the one who next takes the place of the chancellor may not be as accommodating as the current one.


        ... Fourth. Russia is well aware that Zelensky is likely to yield to his Western "partners" and aggravate. But in this case, the leadership of the Russian Federation will “play” on raising rates. Moscow is hinting that if everything starts and sanctions are received in any case, and JV2 is zeroed, then the western project "Ukraine" will be closed by Russia. And in addition to this, three more additional problems will be resolved: the dead end in Donbass, water for Crimea and the territory of Transnistria.


        .And finally, the worst thing. We suggest thinking about what is worse for Washington: an alliance between the Russian Federation and the FRG or the loss of Ukraine? I think the answer is obvious. There is an option that Ze will not fulfill the "master's order". But in this case, there will be another Billingcat series, ”concluded the authors of the ZeRada channel.

          Seriously, of course, Yandexdzen is not taken seriously :).
          but on the whole Ukraine is interested in the presence of NATO members as a guarantee, this is obvious.
          Another issue is that this topic is being promoted gradually in order to reduce the Kremlin's reaction to the appearance of such troops.
          And the reaction will be a reversal of the entire strategic balance. Therefore, it will be introduced very gradually, first the special forces will base, then ground and aviation, and then missile ones will appear at a distance of 500-600 km from Moscow - the Americans have just withdrawn from the treaty on medium-range missiles, and are actively developing hypersonic weapons of this range.
          That is, if the current trend continues, but for now everything is heading towards this.

            We are also developing hypersonic weapons and, apparently, in this situation, we will again have to carry missiles to Cuba. In this case, a new Cuban missile crisis cannot be avoided. As in 1961, because of the deployment of American missiles in Turkey, the world was on the brink, and now, thanks to the efforts of the Americans, the world will again come to the brink, but in the role of Turkey, Ukraine is based on your assumption. Nobody pity her. The world is not a fact that it will steer again. And all due to the fact that someone has hegemony in one place itching. Here are the words of a classic: we go to Paradise, and they just die. While everything goes to this.

                  The factor of surprise and speed of the strike is important.
                  The closer to the decision-making center, the higher the likelihood that the retaliatory strike will not be in time due to the time factor - short flight time
                  Because of the ethogram, medium-range missiles were banned at their time
                  But this is the past already.

                    Washington and New York coastal cities. If the submarines hit the KR from the same 500-600 km from these cities, then this is an equivalent replacement for the ground-based KR. And if you also use the 9-swing Zircon or SLBM Bulava for this on a flat trajectory from submarines, then the Americans will be quite fun. Moreover, there will be a retaliatory strike in any case. Everything is foreseen in advance. We have the doctrine of a retaliatory strike. Corresponding systems. All that the Americans, led by Biden, can achieve is to turn the whole world into a cemetery.
                    Medium-range missiles were banned because of the ethogram.
                    But this is the past already.

                    Yes, this is the reality of the late 80s. Now there are other opportunities and, most importantly, there is determination.

        How is it with you in Estonia? Will you tell? Who will fight for you? Or will you even nudge yourself?

          I am not a citizen of Estonia, I have been living there since the times of the USSR. And YOU, a child, have not known life since 1991. If I knew, I would be silent.

            I will not be silent.
            I put it on your Estonia with NATO.
            You can't live in NATO Estonia and not be a gay-European pad.

      We are standing - the enemy is disturbing. We retreat - the enemy is advancing.

      200 Canadian instructors from Ukraine fled. They do not want to fall under the Russian Iskander. And pi.n.dosy from Ukraine will be dumped. It seems that the war will soon begin.

      This is quite expected, there is no need to be an analyst, after training in Sevastopol, after training centers and biolaboratories. The question is different, our boyars, apart from the policy of "Leopold's cat" and smearing snot on their cheeks, what can be done real to protect the interests of the Russian Federation and their "feeding trough". Judging by the fact that they so stubbornly do not "notice" the active activity of the "partners" all these years, judging by their complete helplessness and inactivity in their essentially territories and this mockery of their essentially peoples, who for some reason, contrary to common sense and normal logic, due to a misunderstanding, they were called sovereign states (who you have to be to call a severed finger an independent organism), behind the fortress walls of the supposedly capital, we have people not much like the national leadership. Judging by their decisions, actions, or rather inaction, like all news, how they unquestioningly and instantly fulfill all the instructions of the overseas curators, this is the whole pack without honor and conscience, mired in philistinism, which is stupid with permissiveness and impunity, sheer irresponsibility, unlimited dough rages on the territories of the once great power, all this gives reason, in my philistine opinion, to assume that this is an occupation (colonial) administration, temporary workers, which in no way connects its future with this state and this people, whom they deeply despise and hate. As a result, the Balts will seem like a kindergarten, and even taking into account the fact that in the south in Kazakhstan exactly the same thing happens in one, only with less noise, in the eastern petty, and it will be more dangerous and more tragic, there is only one hope for China, which is ready to defend its interests and has the political will and all the possibilities for this.

      The APU will not help anything. Even American instructors Yes
