Intelligence communications circuits worldwide are BLAZING with rapid developments in almost ALL European countries.   Bear in mind that these Intelligence Community communications circuits only light up when info is so urgent, it cannot wait to go through normal means of communication.

According to several of my former colleagues - who allowed me to personally hear some of the extensive Intel chatter . . . which is described in the Subscriber area below . . . 

Ukraine gives Kremlin 48 hours to explain Russian military activity near Ukrainian border

Kiev has requested Moscow provide an adequate explanation for Russian military activity near the border between the two countries within 48 hours, Ukraine’s Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba said on Twitter on Feb. 11.

According to the minister, Ukraine has done so in accordance with the Vienna Mechanism, an agreement within the framework of the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE).

“We have officially triggered the risk reduction mechanism in accordance with Chapter III of the Vienna Document, and requested Russia to provide detailed explanations on military activities in the areas adjacent to the territory of Ukraine and in the temporarily occupied Crimea,” said Kuleba.

He said that Russia now has to specify the exact areas where it is conducting military maneuvers and when they will conclude, in addition to the names, types, and command chain of the regiments involved.

“Russia has 48 hours to reply. In case of an absence of reply or its insufficiency/irrelevance, Ukraine will address Russia, as well as other participating states of the Vienna Document, in order to convene an extraordinary meeting where Russia will have to provide explanations,” the message said.

Ukraine will continue taking all diplomatic measures available to ensure its security, the minister added.

Russia has been massing troops at the border since late October.

More than 130,000 Russian troops and offensive weapons have been deployed near Ukraine’s borders and in the temporarily occupied territories, according to the latest intelligence estimate from the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine.

The Kremlin says the troop movements are an internal affair of the Russian Federation.

Russian troops have also been deployed to Belarus, as part of previously unscheduled military exercises. However, Russian equipment has been spotted along the Ukrainian-Belarusian border, far from the zone where the exercises are supposed to be held.

Russia has also announced that it was be blocking off access to large portions of the Black Sea for what it alleges are ‘naval missile and gunnery training exercises’ from Feb. 13 to Feb. 19.

When asked for their analysis of Ukriane's "demand," most Intelligence analysts laughed it off.  The general response was "They have 48 hours . . . . or what? Is Ukraine gonna run home and tell mommy?"

Two other analysts proffered their take by saying

1) "Russia will probably tell Ukraine that the Russian troop build up is due to the Ukraine troop build up on the borders of Luhansk and Donetsk, within 100Km of the Russian border, and until Ukraine removes its troops, Russia will keep troops where they are, AND;

2) "Russia can say they have their troops there because of all the lethal weaponry pouring into Ukraine from NATO."

Either of those answers would basically "gut" action by the OSCE to whom Ukraine is complaining.  How can the OSCE say anything to Russia about its troops inside its own country, when those troops are there because Ukraine massed fifty percent of its armed forces within 100 km of Russia?

And How can the OSCE do anything when, in fact, it is widely publicized in media that hundreds of tons of "LETHAL WEAPONRY" has already been poured into Ukraine by NATO for use against Russia?

SO the OSCE thing Ukraine is doing appears to many insiders to be useless.  It may also backfire on Ukraine, by giving Russia a format and a stage to point out that Ukraine does not honor its written agreements. 

Russia can point to the Minsk Agreement, hammered out in the Normandy Format, and honestly report to everyone that Ukraine has flatly REFUSED to honor its signed agreement for direct dialogue with Luhansk and Donetsk?  Since Ukraine does not honor its word, Russia has to be ready to protect itself from these Nazi-esque Kiev leaders!

Now, onto the Intelligence Communications circuits, which some of my former colleagues allowed me to personally listen to this afternoon
