Pentagon officials have issued a statement claiming Russia had violated Ukrainian airspace “on several occasions in the last 24 hours,” calling the moves dangerously destabilizing.
They provided no details on exactly where the putative violations happened, and interestingly Ukrainian officials made no similar allegations of their own, suggesting they didn’t see it as a big deal.
Which is difficult to imagine, assuming the violations actually happened, as Ukraine has at every opportunity hyped every perceived Russian slight, openly talking about an imminent start of World War 3.
The lack of details may suggest the “violations” occurred in or around the Crimean Peninsula, which Russia has annexed but which the US is still recognizing as Ukrainian territory, and subsequently Ukrainian airspace.
So the Ukrainian army, the one that want to kill Russians, if invaded, can not confirm Russian violating Ukraine airspace but pentagon can, is pentagon just opened a new office in Kiev or Anders Fogh Rasmussen from Denmark informing pentagon to inform NATO start sending in more of USG militarism hardware from Afghanistan because we are about to start a war with Russia and later China, the first modernized world war orchestrated by the state department and approved by EU governing body.
It probably happened and is indeed no big deal. You can't stop a jet aircraft "on a dime" and pilots have to be very careful not to get too close to a frontier or they will be unable to turn their plane in time. That in turn tends to confirm the rickety and incompetent nature of the Russian air force.
How can the americans make this claim without violating Ukrainian airspace themselves? And several other countries airspace as well?
It's all BS – and the target audience is the American public who are being fed lie after lie designed to "ready" the war weary Americans for another "foreign adventure" by the neocon influenced USG. And as the USG has done in the past, many times, they will create an event horizon allowing them to take the next step of actually starting a war that no one will win…end of the Great American Experiment…footnote to Failed Governments.
The US is absolutely the last government on the planet which has the right be be all indignant about Russia violating anyone else's airspace. It violates the airspace of any country it wants, and does it on a DAILY basis. Not only does it violate airspace, it BOMBS anyone it wants.
USG needs to be reminded that Israel 60Y occupation of Palestinian land is in violation of some 250UN res. and that Israel violates Palestinian and Lebanese Airspace on a daily basis
Russia has more legitimacy in the Ukraine than the illegal West supported coup that installed the Yatsenyuk Government in Kiev at the pint of a gun.
