US Department of State Spokesperson Ned Price told a press briefing on Tuesday that, “If any Russian forces move across the Ukrainian border, if there is a renewed invasion, it will be met with a swift, severe, and united response not only from the United States, but also from our allies and partners,” the diplomat added.
Dmitry Peskov, the Kremlin press secretary warned Tuesday that the attempts to resolve the Ukrainian conflict by force would carry “extremely serious consequences”.
Russia has repeatedly said that it has no intention of attacking Ukraine.
According to the Tass news agency, “In December, Russia issued legally binding drafts on mutual security guarantees with the US and NATO due to the ongoing “military development” of Ukrainian territory by the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, according to Moscow. The sides held several rounds of talks, including a personal meeting between Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov and US Secretary of State Antony Blinken, where the Russian top diplomat reiterated that Moscow had no intention of attacking Ukraine.”
“Nuclear strikes against Russia, as some GOP officials like Senator Roger Wicker are proposing, will only encourage Kim Jong-un to attack South Korea and Xi Jinping to seize Taiwan the minute the Winter Olympics end, while Biden is taking his licks from Russia and maybe Europe. It is not likely Europe wants America fighting a war against the largest nation of continental Europe, taking the entire European Union into a nuclear winter,” Mr. Baldock said.
Women in Kiev are angry, worried, and united against American interference for US “Political Purposes”.
FPMag spoke to three women in Kiev for this article. These women are members of a chapter of RINJ Women, a civil society group that has been adamantly opposed to a military solution to the ethnic discrimination against Russian people in Ukraine. Russian is the native language of one third of Ukraine according to these women.
The women each said that their family members working in government know that Volodymyr Zelensky was extremely annoyed about the Anglophone nations pulling out their citizens and that he planned to issue another statement to the one he made on TV last Wednesday, trying to calm things down, saying ‘everything is under control’.
“But after the President spoke the Biden guy said the Russians would invade Ukraine immediately, but I think it is not Ukraine they will invade, they will go to help the people in Donbass who are being bombed every day by the Americans and us,” added one woman whose husband is an officer.
“The American military has been growing in our country for many years, over ten years, since I graduated,” she said. “My husband has met the Americans and he says all our weapons are from the USA. It’s more American than Ukrainian to be in the military,” she added. She also said she has been to many parties with the Americans and when asked she said her husband was not permitted to talk to foreign journalists, or he would.
“My husband says that he does not understand any of the stories. The whole thing is a stinky drama that only serves the political purpose of the American, Joe Biden, whom everyone hates, after getting run out of Afghanistan by the Taliban, and all the scandals here about him doing bribery, which is nothing new. Now Zelensky is turned off by Biden because Biden is always saying things on TV that are different from what America tells Kiev. Zelensky thinks that Biden is trying to bait Russia into rescuing Donetsk and Luhansk Russians, which Biden will say is an invasion of Ukraine—because USA pretends those countries don’t exist because they are all ethnic Russian in Donbass— so that America can convince Europe to put more atomic missiles in countries of Europe,[translated]” she added.
“Negotiations between Ukraine and the USA, Russia and the USA, reluctant members of NATO and the USA but no negotiations with Donetsk PR and Luhansk PR is not sensible because they are the ones this is all about. They got tired of the repudiation of Russians in Ukraine and left. Bye.”
“They [Donetsk and Luhansk PR] are the ones who are between Ukraine and Russia. They have Russia on one side, friendly, and tens of thousands of Ukraine, American, Canadian, British armies, and other troops allied to the USA, shelling the people living in Donestk and Luhansk on the other side, why are we not just talking?” she added.
The Honourable Natalia Yurievna Nikonorova, Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Donetsk People’s Republic, is also the Permanent Representative at the Trilateral Contact Group in Minsk and heads the interdepartmental committee for the accreditation of humanitarian missions.
Another Ukrainian woman who is a speech writer and former university ( Kiev National Economic University), friend of the current Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Donetsk People’s Republic, explicitly told FPM.news that there are tens of thousands of troops and tanks, from Ukraine and many other countries including Britain, Canada, and America, amassed near Ukraine’s borders with Donetsk and Luhansk in the provinces of Kharkiv, Dnipropetrovik, and Zaporizhzhia.
“The news,” she said, “of the Anglophone nations pulling citizens out of Kiev, as their troops line up against the republics of Donetsk and Luhansk, is terrifying civilians in those provinces and they are trying to flee.”
“The Importance of Germany observing the Principle of Impartiality in assessing the situation in Donbass and the negotiation process.”
Natalia Yurievna Nikonorova, the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Donetsk People’s Republic, is also the Permanent Representative at the Trilateral Contact Group in Minsk and heads the interdepartmental committee for the accreditation of humanitarian missions.
Officials for Minister Niknorova responded last week to an FPMag question about the insults of her German counterpart, the German Minister for Foreign Affairs, Annalea Baerbock.
Donetsk PR Minister Niknorova
“Such a statement [of Baerbock] demonstrates a one-sided approach in assessing the situation on the humanitarian track. For some reason, Annalena Baerbock does not mention that Ukraine has not fulfilled a single humanitarian obligation in the framework of the Minsk negotiations. Namely: the Ukrainian side still has not released from criminal prosecution the persons previously transferred to Republics and there are no guarantees or even understanding that Ukraine is going to fully implement its obligations under the previously reached agreement. Also, the discussion of the Roadmap, which details the sequence of all aspects of the settlement in accordance with the Minsk agreements, including exchanges, is still blocked.
“In addition, Andrey Kosiak, a representative of the LPR in the JCCC, who was kidnapped by Ukrainian armed groups in October last year, is still treacherously held.
“If Mrs. Baerbock really wants to give an objective assessment of situation, then we invite her to visit the Republic – not just the territories controlled by Ukraine. We are ready to outline the whole range of problems caused by Ukraine’s failure to fulfill its obligations under the Package of Measures. As a representative of the guarantor country of the Minsk agreements, the head of the German Foreign Ministry should pay more attention to the importance of observing the principle of impartiality in assessing the situation in Donbass and the negotiation process, rather than demonstrating frankly biased judgments.”
When asked about what impact this is having on the people of Donetsk and Luhansk, she said many families had already fled to distant families in Russia, Ukraine far from the conflict, and to other parts of the world.
“President Zelensky is afraid of all the people trying to flee the country being jammed up by COVID restrictions,” she added.

‘Battle Group Poland‘, a U.S.-led battle group, in partnership with Britain, Romania and Croatia. Croation President describes “inconsistency and dangerous behavior” of Joe Biden and his administration.
Croation media is reporting that President Zoran Milanovic has indicated Croatian authorities will recall all troops from NATO forces in eastern Europe in case of a conflict between Russia and Ukraine. At least one battalion has left already on a regular scheduled relief but the relieving battalion will not leave Croatia according to Milanovic’s office.
Local media reports Milanovic said, “this has nothing to do with either Ukraine or Russia, it has to do with the dynamics of US domestic policy of Joe Biden and his administration,” Milanovic said, stressing that he sees inconsistency and dangerous behavior in “international security issues”.

Coincidence? Russian troops from the Western Military Division have been in most of the same places in Russia, for many months, not too far from the Russian border with allied nations Donetsk and Luhansk, not Ukraine. The US Pentagon only issued a release of its alleged fears of a Russian invasion, of Ukraine, which would require the troops to be amassed in the nations of Donetsk and Luhansk, not Russia.
When at the start of December 2021, the United States Pentagon under orders from the White House, created a simple document (above) which warned the White House, while leaking the document to favourite media, that because Russia had thousands of troops on the other side of Donetsk and Luhansk, inside Russia, that it was planning to invade Ukraine in January (now).
