The Washington Post reported Monday that Ukraine’s military intelligence directorate, known as HUR, was planning major strikes inside Russia in February that were postponed due to US pressure.
The report cited documents allegedly leaked by Airman Jack Teixeira. According to a report from the National Security Agency, HUR chief Maj. Gen. Kyrylo Budanov instructed one officer “to get ready for mass strikes on 24 February … with everything the HUR had.” The date marked one year since Russia launched its invasion.
The US became aware of Budanov’s plans as it has been spying on Ukrainian officials. According to a CIA report dated February 22, the HUR had “agreed, at Washington’s request, to postpone strikes.” The Post said it wasn’t clear from the documents how the US pressured Kyiv to push back the operations.
Throughout the war, Ukraine has launched small drone attacks and conducted other sabotage operations inside Russia. It’s not clear what Budanov meant by “mass strikes.” One plan mentioned by the Post was using TNT to attack the Black Sea port city of Novorossiysk.
The Post report suggests the US didn’t want Budanov to follow through on his plans over concerns of a Russian escalation, but there are indications that the US has helped Kyiv with other attacks inside Russia. After Ukrainian drones hit airfields deep inside Russia in December, NATO military sources told Asia Times that the drones used US satellite GPS data to hit their targets despite Biden administration claims that the US didn’t “encourage nor enable” the attacks.
Another leaked document that was first reported on earlier this month suggested Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky would use long-range US weapons to hit targets inside Russia despite assurances that he wouldn’t. The document said Zelensky “expressed concern” that Kyiv didn’t possess long-range weapons to hit Russian targets in Rostov during a conversation with Ukrainian Commander-in-Chief Valeriy Zaluzhny and another unnamed official.
Secret documents leaked by a low level airman that just happen to reveal that Ukraine has the weapons and military to make major strikes inside Russia and America has been holding them back. In reality Ukraine’s military is severely weakened and they need peace negotiations asap. Also, the American government and American military “advisors” inside Ukraine design the military plans but let’s pretend we are holding Ukraine back from attacking Russia
You’re right in general; but Zelensky and the Nazis would dearly like to escalate the war into an all-out NATO direct involvement. They would very much like to provoke Russia into attacking … especially Poland.
Yes they would love to if they could.
Just heard Ray McGovern speak to this to the effect all it would take is “some bi-polar Pole Mig pilot”, … and am unable to “Booo”.
Yes, we live in very perilous times. I hope humans wake up before we destroy ourselves. Keep spreading truth and facts!
“Report: Ukraine Postponed Attacks Inside Russia Due to US Pressure Documents
allegedly leaked by Jack Teixeira show Ukrainian officials were
planning ‘mass strikes’ to coincide with the invasion anniversary”
If Ukraine employs massive strikes within Russia; Kiev would most likely become a burned out cinder.
“The Post said it wasn’t clear from the documents how the US pressured Kyiv to push back the operations.”
How many $billions$ of guesses do we get?
Odd that most comments here in an excellent anti war site are pro Russian. The invader/aggressor in this conflict. Either dupes or Russian fanboys, or both.
I have always suspected this latest “leak” affair is a designed CIA disinfo gambit to push out a few real tidbits mixed in with US manufactured disinfo designed for Russian eyes. This “report” of the Uke anniversary Russian homeland attack plan seems like one of the faked items. Maybe to remind Putin that his country isn’t protected from civilian attacks that they have been heaping on the Ukrainians.
So far the US has restrained those. But Russian support of this invasion might not be strong if subways and rail station bombings are killing their own people, like Russian missiles kill Ukrainians.
The idea that this is a war of “Russian self defense” is bunk. Both the US and Russia meddled in internal Ukraine politics. Only Russia sent in tanks when their “little green men” occupations reached its limits.
Obviously you can`t be bothered to find out exactly why Putin invaded Ukraine , however did you make the same comments when the invader / aggressor America destroyed Iraq killing 500,000 civilians ? or when the US invaded Afghanistan , Libya , you must be a fan of America and it`s murderous invasions RIGHT ?.
Russia invaded western Ukraine to force Zelensky to move troops away from the Donbas. But that phase of the war was over months ago. But the people who live in the Donbas consider Ukraine the invader, and they fight side by side with Russian troops to defend their lands.
If Russia were to pull out all of its troops today, the civil war would revert to what it was for the 8 years that passed before February 2022.
Brain damage? Generally the higher centers show damage through fantasy disguised as deductive logic.
