The situation in Donbass is getting worse. Biden is trying to buy time for Ukraine
People in Donbass have not believed in the statements of Western politicians for a long time, especially when, against the backdrop of their calls for negotiations, the Ukrainian side continues to accumulate and concentrate forces, including with the participation of foreign instructors and military equipment.
Russian military correspondent Semyon Pegov stated this on the Rossiya 1 TV channel, PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“Donbass has had no illusions for a long time. There were peace-loving statements by Trump at one time, and there were peace-loving statements by other American politicians, but we all understand what this led to. Spirals of escalation occurred regularly throughout the 7 years of this war.
Literally a few minutes before the broadcast, reports appeared that in the village of Vesyoloye - this is near Donetsk, the area of the airport, from where we went live yesterday, were again under attack from Ukrainian 120-caliber mortars. At least four large explosions were heard a few minutes ago. So to say that after Biden’s call to Putin, Ukrainian troops pacified and stopped striking civilians in Donetsk and the positions of the DPR and LPR, this, of course, would be too reckless,” Pegov said.
“The situation continues to heat up, we carefully studied the data sent by our subscribers from the other side, tried to check it through our Ukrainian contacts, and this is what happens. Anna-News, our colleagues, reported on the arrival of British special forces the day before near Donetsk and Lugansk. We dug up information that Polish units (we cannot say now whether they are mercenaries, PMCs or some regular units) were noticeable in the village of Rubezhnoye,” said the military correspondent.
He also said that the Ukrainian Armed Forces continue to accumulate heavy equipment near the demarcation line.
“In the area of the Svetlodar arc, 8 installations of the “Pion” type were noticed - this is a caliber of 203 mm... “Tochki-U” were also noticed in this direction. They had been noticed before, but the movements were not so active or intense. Now they are observed at different points of the front quite regularly,” Pegov noted.
“It is clear that Biden wants to put out the fire a little and delay the moment when the war in Donbass flares up in full. Apparently, the American elites have come to realize that Russia will not abandon its citizens. Our leaders and security officials stated this that Russian citizens will be protected no matter what the cost. This sobered up the American elite, but I don’t think for long. Now they are trying to cleverly buy time,” the military correspondent suggested.
At the end of the report, TV presenter Olga Skabeeva also noted the deterioration of the situation in Donbass.
“News is pouring into news agencies - shelling of the Donetsk airport right now. To make it clear, the projectile from “Peony”, what Semyon was just telling, weighs over 100 kg. As for British special forces, the British newspaper Daily Express reported today that there are not only British special forces, but also American special forces, and British reconnaissance aircraft. This is to talk about the fact that now an escalation will definitely begin, and Biden’s unpeaceful call,” Skabeeva summed up.
The situation in Donbas is worsening. Biden is trying to buy time for Ukraine.
