Crying wolf?

Hot off the press in Ukraine.

It all goes to show that nothing needs to be either fact-based or without any evidence.

Who was it that said that if you repeat the same lie often enough people will start to believe it?

Or is it a case of crying wolf?

Perhaps he is referring to some plans of the military junta?

General Clark: Russia might have an offensive in Donbas between Easter and May 9

Wesley Clark called on for supplying weapons to Ukraine

General Clark expects Donbas militants’ offensive

 Russia might launch active military hostilities in the Donbas after Easter, but before May 9 (Victory Day).

"It seems that the restoration of a wider conflict is inevitable, and I hope that the United States will take all necessary steps to prevent it," – announced the American general, former commander of NATO forces in Europe during the war in Kosovo, Wesley Clark in his speech at the Atlantic Council.

According to the general, Minsk agreements "barely work." Heavy weapons, which had to be withdrawn according to the agreement, are hidden near the boundary line. Nevertheless, Russia continues to supply military equipment to the militants.

Given these factors, General Clark expects a new offensive by pro-Russian forces after the Easter holidays, but before May 9.

"If you look at the previous patterns of operations, it is possible to predict the next Russian offensive, noting that it is hard to keep the Donbas without control over the supply of electricity and the Crimea without proper communication. 

Nevertheless, according to the General, Putin may postpone the attack, if European leaders decide not to boycott celebrations in Moscow.

"Putin's ambitions go beyond military targets. The Russian president wants to drive a wedge between the US and its European allies, and between western and eastern members of NATO to weaken the countries of Central and Eastern Europe," – announced General Clark.

Clark also expressed his belief that the US should change its current policy and start immediately arming Ukraine.

Earlier, the former NSDC Secretary Patubiy already mentioned a possibiilty of an offensive by the militnats before May 9.
