Ukraine Defense Ministry "Warns" Of Imminent Russian Invasion
Ealier we learned that a great number of Americans don't even know where the Ukraine is located. We also learned that those who actually were familiar with the location of the former USSR nation were the least interested in a US military intervention (as opposed to those who inexplicably thought Ukraine is right next to Omaha or in Alaska). And now, we learn that according to the Defense Ministry of the Ukraine, which is citing a "military expert", one Dmitry Tymchuk whose pretty maps have graced these pages in the past, Ukraine is sounding the alarm on what it reports is an imminent invasion by Russia into east Ukraine, which could take place as soon as tonight.
From the ministry's twitter account:
#Invasion of #Ukraine by #Russia planned tonight: Military Expert Dmitry Tymchuk

Adn from its Facebook page, where apparently in the social-networked age, military intelligence is distributed:
Invasion of Ukraine planned tonight, says Military Expert Dmitry Tymchuk:
"Breaking news from group "Information Resistance" We, the group "Information Resistance", have received from our reliable sources the satisfactory confirmation of the statement of Ukrainian Foreign Ministry that the observed activity of the separatists in eastern Ukraine which has been lasting for the last three days is nothing but the beginning of the second phase of the scenario for the Russian invasion in our country.
In particular, according to our information, the separatist leaders, who follow the plan of GRU * of General Headquarters of Russian Armed Forces, have been given the instructions to organize a "corridor" through the state border of Ukraine for passage of the convoys of military equipment from the Russian territory at the night of April 8th to 9th.
Separatists also have received the orders to organize provocations with the casualties in the cities of the region which could be interpreted by the Russian side as "terror against the people organized by Ukrainian authorities".
In addition, the coordinators of Russian GRU, who work in the region, have instructed the separatists to use gunfire weapon in case the attempts to liberate the occupied administrative buildings are taken.
According to our information, Ukrainian law enforcement agencies and special services are now taking the necessary measures to block the groups of the separatists.
State Border Service and the Armed Forces of Ukraine are carrying out the activities on blocking and defense of the state border in the respective areas. "
* GRU – Directorate General of Intelligence of General Headquarters of Russian Armed Forces
So just more scaremongering by a nation that is seemingly desperate to be invaded by Russia just so its new "allies" can defend it (if that's Ukraine's gambit, it will be sorely disappointed)? Or will Russia indeed invade tonight? We doubt it - certainly not without much more real or false flag provocations first, and should there be no invasion tonight, one can just say the date has been pushed back by a day, or two, or three.
Then again at this point who knows - as we have pointed out repeatedly, it is not Russia's actions that are unpredictable - in fact quite the opposite - it is the Ukraine that has been the irrational and "defective" actor in the latest Cold War 2.0 realpolitik game theory.

No kidding. What are these guys, the Grand Duchy of Fenwick?
Cold War 2.0 is ON. Only a matter of time before talk become actions and the dollar is officially dropped.
So in other words, Ukraine was asked: "How much for your women", and chose not to respond?
Well Hell then.
Nope it should read " Terrorists that took over the Ukraine are scared they will be brought to justice". There fixed it
God!
This invasion was called imminent month ago.
Since that 100 times Yatsenyk, after kissing Akhenaton's ass called it.
Meanwhile Blakwater mercenaries are beating BAD BAD separatists (freedom, democracy lovers, peaceful protesters etc... Ad nauseam)
Fuck off! People laugh at you! You wanna start a war? Start a war!
You cant even lie properly! Fuck off! Let us live and work in peace!
Do not push us to believe all this pathetic bullshit! You are laughable! Dou you cope? Verstehen? Fuck off! Leave us out!

Dear TPTB. Kill yourselves each other on next Urgently called Bilderberg/IMF/WB/ NATO / EU/ UN/ etc... Etc... Meeting.
Your voters, tax payers, working public, people who feeds you.
P.S. We do not need necesary your notice about the proceedings. It is your life, we have ours.

End of message. / your working public
There will be no invasion of Ukraine. To think otherwise is downright idiotic. Russia doesn't have to do anything except wait for the east part of what's left of Ukraine to liberate itself and intervene only if NATO slips up, which they will, because they always do. Invasion? Come on! Think! No! There is no urgency for Russia here.
I suspect you're right - Putin stands to gain more international influence if he continues playing this right.
Time for another Nobel Peace Prize for Foodstamp the Pillow Biter.
I want to know where The America is. And The Canada.
Why, they're on The Map, silly!
The America and The Canada can best be found by locating Madagasgar, turning right and proceeding East for 700 nm. If you pass a Malaysian Air 787 you are going too far.
I want to know what love is...
The America is all over the map, silly. We have bases (forts) in most every foreign nation.
It is all about The America.
Full Spectrum Dominance baby!
Not for much longer...There is this problem of Debt...
....bbbut there is the Debt Denial...and it is not Crimea River.
Putin will let the Ukranian gubmint become the boy who cried wolf for a while. THEN he'll move in. Russian gangsters have a strong strategic pimp hand.
yet even this mainstream media reporter can't find the evidence of Russian build up;
http://www.nbcnews.com/storyline/ukraine-crisis/tour-ukraine-russia-bord...
TRP
Not sure if your's is an update or the "shocking" news story that NBC for some unknown and altruisitic reason ran with the last week of March that "All was quiet"
on the Eastern Front... Haven't seen them update that story which is certainly no surprise and more importantly why we probably won't be seeing them do it a "second time"...
For some reason I couldn't get your's so I posted it again!

Lets stop pay these stupid Idiots!
It is unbelievable!
Can you imagine yourselves behaving 1% like these bastards?
How they feed themselves? Do they seed? Do they reap? Do they go to the supermarkets? Do they cook?
Fuck OFF!
Dear President Putin or Medvedev,
Now that I have more flexibility, feel free to take back Alaska when you get around to it. Its people are racist Republicans, its oil is destroying the climate, and we don't need its gold (we have dollars).
Barack Hussein Obama
President of Kenya^H^H^H^H^H the United States
Bullish. Should be a good data point to pump the futures overnight
I mean, the message is clear now.
Fuck OFF!
Kill yourselves, dear TPTB, and leave US ALONE !
Just FUCK OFF!
Yes you can!
Multi post rant yo... :-)
First I' seen on I've seen on ZH.
Greenies on ya.
On CBS News and Yahoo the US was boasting about it's rail gun.
The US war mongering neocons in Barry's House says let's boogie.
Nothing in the sky survives this.
http://www.news.com.au/technology/design/us-navy-unveils-rail-gun-that-f...
Rail Gun... Meet Bulava war head...
Fixed it!!!
Russia says we have more warheads and the US says we'll shoot them down.
Let's hope this heightened saber-rattling cools down.
How do they train it?
I think with raw fish. It's like a whale.
I guess this screws this year's Eurovision competition.
"And can we now have Ukraine's scores for Russia's entry?"
Those Eastern Ukrainians aren't dumb. They are looking ahead to keeping warm next Winter.
He must be reading my earlier posts regarding GRU.
Since these, he made his living by blackmailing busnisses in Kiev, selling stolen cars from Germany, Heroin from Af-pak and Slavic white meat to Italy and Turkey. ( and Israel and SA)
Now he has a PR person. He can even speak english suddenly. .
Okay now they're just being coy.
With the sociopaths in Washington DC, who started this mess in Ukraine... I am glad I've been prepping for a rough ride ahead.
And frankly, I think if Putin nuked Washington DC in response to whatever dumb as nails things they do in response, he would be doing the United STATES a favor.
only if he nuked it twice...
I don't know how military intelligence coped before the existance of Facebook.
<sarc>
Even Swedens getting nervous: Russia’s ‘preparations for war on Sweden’ lead to security service concerns (Independent, London)
I hope their army is better than their shitty furniture.
I always have a few leftover bolts whenever I assemble one of Ikea's mail-order tanks.
The story about the boy who cried wolf comes to mind here.
I hear Putin has a "Dumb Bomb" Instead of leaving a scorched world it leaves any intelligent society dumb.
He say's he'll never fire it at the West because he cannot find a target!
To take care of that dumb bomb, Obama should do a one-man invasion wearing a suicide-bomb vest. "Here I am fuckers, surrender, or else!"
"Nobody move, or the nigger gets it!"
Time to kick some commy ass. EEEEE HAAA!!!!
(Poor Tom Clancy, he gonna miss the war).
So, off to Vichy DC then?
DC? No, that's the capital of slow-motion free-enterprise flags.
Made in China.
Am I wrong or is that a big red line in eastern Ukraine? Well, maybe more like a big red area, no doubt made up of a whole series of red lines backing up one after another. You know how all those red lines kind of blend together.
Somebody keeps pressing CTRL-Z on those red lines.
I have a hard time understanding why so many commenters are focused on nuclear weapons. Why would any attacking military use nukes when biologicals are so much more effective AND deniable? Of course military types are addicted to things that go zoom and boom, but that is a yesterday's mentality. You can bet that if the Chinese ever get into it the bad bugs are gonna fly.
Everybody thinks in terms of the last war.
The bed bugs in Fukushima have two sets of wings and three heads already.
And Yats is building wings to put on Chernobyl.
That's because the baby boomers are in charge bitchez!
Obama to Security Council:
"You guys got time for a round of golf?"
gee, we hope so. robust nuke exchange will kinda wipe the slate clean, including the thoroughly decadent u.s.
Who gives a Flying Fuuk. Let em have Poland while they are at it and all the other broke ass little countries. Why not invade Portugal & Greece & Cyprus ???
Look its enevitable most Americans know jack shit. It does show though the geo Political analysts who are Americans are exceptional.
Play pussy... get fucked.
What is happening in Ukraine and the unrest in many areas in the world brings into focus the many conflicts that develop when a region decides to change governments often outside the recognized democratic system of voting. In some cases even after an overwhelming vote such as in Crimea the whole process is called into question.
Unfortunately the American civil war did not resolve the issue of succession forever and definitely was not a template for a solution that should be used in countries across the planet. Bottom-line many in politics are slow to give up control and this will not change. For more on this important issue see the article below.

Well I for one wish you much success!
It's pretty dark at night, I hope they invade in the right direction; it would be very embarassing for the Russians to invade Russia......
'RosATOM at the Gates?' oh hell... does Gazprom need Sanctions, when Germany, Italy and all energy-dependent starved EU says all system aOK for 'South Stream' via Bugaria?

jmo
thankyou Tyler
There is an inverse relationship between how well informed an individual is and how much they favor armed intervention anywhere. Fox News
Fox News = a concentric POV... where the point is as infinitesimal, as the number ZERO?
meaningless awe`struck MSM
No Invasion imminent except in the authors fantasy, situation would have to deteriorate further before such measures will need to be implemented, Russia is just applying pressure.
Kerry: "We have sent a very strong letter to Putin. It is the letter M. We wrote it with dots of red ink. We sent it via Twitter."
Carney: "I would sell Russia and buy Twitter."
Obama in a thought bubble: "I can't wait until I can have these two idiots liquidated. Maybe I should call Jamie right now and see if he has a wet work specialist available. I wonder if anyone's ever committed suicide with a lawnmower before."
Every day Russia delays the inevitable reintegration of the predominately Russian provinces east of the Dnieper River the costlier reunification becomes. My hope is it occurs quickly and peacefully.
Russia is taking advantage of the weakness built into the Ukrainian state by its own stooge, Yanukovych. The Ukrainian government has had no time to form itself, and Russia is intent on allowing it none.
It is shameful for zerohedge to celebrate the bully like this. Russia may well prevail, but they are imposing themselves on citizens of a sovereign country. If they were really wanted, they would not have to use the non-uniform uniforms, human shields and other despicable measures. However successful.
http://www.duffelblog.com/2014/04/ukraine-invades-russia/
Yeah, it's a parody, like The Onion.
"a great number of Americans don't even know where the Ukraine is located."
And quite a few still think it's called "the" Ukraine.
Oh total fucking bull shit! we invented fake reasons to burn down Iraq and now loser John Kerry is shooting his mouth off-REMEMBER JOHN? you threw your medals back at the white house in disgust at the 'trumped up' Vietnam war-what a blowhard hipocryte
The same gang of NeoCON neandrethals who shoved us into Iraq by lying are behind this-we need a giant necktie party for CONgress or 98% of them, as well as Bush, Cheney, Wolfowitz -the whole NeoCON Zionist gang etc....all they want to do is borrow and spend and make the deficit even greater as we all go in hock to the FEDERAL RESERVE=and desrtoy more of the world.
"Then again at this point who knows - as we have pointed out repeatedly, it is not Russia's actions that are unpredictable - in fact quite the opposite"
I dispute that statement.
I do not disagree that the West has meddled in Ukraine. I am not convinced that it is all a CIA plot. We are in a multi-polar world. The CIA is only one party - and not the one with the most to gain.
HOWEVER,
Nothing that has happened so far has required the Russian Army to leave Russia. Crimea could have done their referendum on schedule, with the Russian Army comfortably in the Russian bases in Crimea. If an organized force were to go to Crimea there would have been adequate time to leave the base.
Putting the Russian Army in the streets of another country BEFORE holding the referendum makes it look like Crimea was threatened. From what I remember of Crimea, the majority DO want to be part of Russia. But most people in the world don't know where Crimea is, and know absolutely nothing of its population. So, putting the Army there before the referendum made the headlines into "Russia Invades!" rather than "Crimea has Spoken".
To stabilize the situation, the subject of discussion, and headlines needed to be "Crimea has Spoken".
Even worse, Russian Channel One - wholly controlled by the Russian Government - is announcing how Russia can turn everyone into "Nuclear Ash".
Russia is not the only country with Nuclear bombs. Perhaps some who are unaccustomed to carrying weapons do not know - but those who are normally armed do not normally threaten. This is for a good reason. If you do not intend to shoot, the person you threatened still might shoot. And even if they don't shoot, they will remember you threatened their lives, and will not want to let you have a second chance.
Flatly, threateneing everyone with nuclear holocaust indicates that the West is RIGHT to circle Russia with anti-rocket defenses.
Think about it. If you had a neighbor who had a habit of threatening people with a gun, would you not put on body armor?
Moreover, what purpose do such threats serve? Do people want to buy from those who threaten them with death? Do they want to cooperate? Will they accept negotiation? Or will they think that the one who threatens speaks only to gain advantage, and the words mean nothing?
Everyone in the Ukraine dispute, and many outside of it, have broken treaties. If there are any adults in the governments of the world, they will acknowledge that those treaties are null, and work to establish new agreements.
I know this because my country has threatened too much in the last decades. More than Russia, recently.
What can I say? Politicians are like roosters, always strutting and looking for fights to distract people from how much they steal and how much they abuse normal people. But normal people have power too. They have the power of the voice. We kept our crazy incompetent government from invading Libya, and from invading Syria, and we will make them bring everyone home from Iraq and Afghanistan, and stop all their paranoid, insane spying on everyone in the world, but it will take patience.
Listen to the Children of the Night, what sweet music they mike.
American's willing to risk their lives to find love in the Ukraine.
.
Phoenix-based international marriage agency A Foreign Affair is still leading groups of men to Ukraine in search of wives, despite the volatile political crisis developing in Ukraine's eastern border with Russia. Tens of thousands of Russian troops have amassed just miles from the cities of Lugansk and Sumy, two of AFA's most popular destinations among mail-order-bride seekers. "Actually, we're going to Lugansk this weekend for a large singles event and plan to be there for a week afterwards," says AFA CEO John Adams. "We've done three romance tours to Ukraine since the political crisis began in November and the response from the women there has been overwhelming."
Hardly inconspicuous as they travel on buses in large groups from city to city, AFA's tour groups have encountered no hostilities from locals or anti-American sentiment. "Aside from the occasional isolated protest here and there, it seems like life as usual in every city we've visited so far," says Adams, who receives a daily briefing from local staffers in Kiev and Odessa. "If anything, we're seeing record numbers of ladies attending our social parties." Asked how bad things would have to get in Ukraine in order for travel plans to be cancelled, Adams says "Obviously, we wouldn't intentionally put our clients in harms way. We can always detour to a back up city for awhile if need be. We just ask clients to understand that while things are still relatively calm throughout Ukraine, there is a heightened risk." The company, which has been introducing American men to Ukrainian women for 15 years, has three more tours planned for this year.
