The Ukrainian Defense Ministry on Monday denied a report from The Washington Post that said Russia is building up troops near its border with Ukraine.
The Post report cited anonymous US and European officials who said they were concerned over Russian troop movements. But Ukraine said they have not observed any such movements near the border.
“As of November 1st, 2021, an additional transfer of Russian units, weapons and military equipment to the state border of Ukraine was not recorded,” the Ukrainian Defense Ministry said in a statement, according to Reuters.
Western media hyping up the movement of Russian troops in the region is nothing new. The Post report claims Russia has taken a “harder line” against Ukraine, citing comments from Russian officials over Ukraine’s increasing ties with the West and NATO.
US and NATO activity has increased in the Black Sea, and the Western powers continue to boost ties with Kyiv. These steps and the US support for the 2014 coup in Ukraine are extreme provocations towards Moscow, but the context is almost always missing in Western media reports.
In October, Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin Visited Kyiv and signaled that the door is still open for Ukraine to eventually join NATO. His visit to Ukraine and other states in the region coincided with the US flying B-1B bombers over the Black Sea.
Another Ukrop Lie.
On the Ukrainian border —-means inside Russia.
“US and NATO activity has increased in the Black Sea, and the Western powers continue to boost ties with Kyiv. These steps and the US support for the 2014 coup in Ukraine are extreme provocations towards Moscow, but the context is almost always missing in Western media reports.”
Not “almost always” Dave, just always. But thank you for speaking the truth.

Isn’t the owner of the Post Bezos??
The WP is only the puppet. The puppeteer lives in the WH.
The puppeteers live in the Pentagon/Langley/Foggy Bottom. The WH is the puppet stage.
US media know that warmongering sells papers. Now all the other warmongering media will carry on with using the WP as the authority for claiming “Russia Aggression”. That’s how it works.
Dick Cheney was the master of that shit. Tell the NY Times something and after the NY Times published what he said he’d say the NY Times was his source.
Biden has started to show his colors. Clinton’s circle of global zealots are running the show.
It is only the beginning. They were making plans all these years, and will not be denied. In fact, they have to start a conflict, lest the financial pyramid wobbles in plain sight — better wobble in a genuine crisis. COVID did a job for a while, another financial booster is needed to get wealthy into a life boat — and have the rest of us drown.
So, they are feeling out possibilities , cheering themselves on. But there are no easy targets — just hoping someone will bite, someone can be accused of aggression. Just enough to force political elite hands — and have to “do something”.
But for that, a weak state is needed, someone without friends or support. Easy to whack. Someone who believes US is a friend — an easy target like Saddam Hussein to demonize and switch from ally to enemy,
Such are not easy to find any more,
