Ukraine Defense Chief Says “Low Probability” Of Major Conflict With Russia, Contradicting Biden

Written on . Posted in PT World Order.

Ukraine Defense Minister Oleksii Reznikov told parliament on Friday that there is a low probability of any major escalation with Russia. He added that Ukraine intelligence sees every move made in the area.

Tensions at the Russia-Ukraine border have been ongoing, with several Western nations repeatedly predicting a huge war. Ukraine has chided those nations for causing a panic.

“Our intelligence sees every move that could pose a potential threat to Ukraine. We estimate the probability of a large-scale escalation as low,” Reznikov said.

The timing of the statement is interesting given that just the day prior, President Joe Biden stuck by the White House assessment that an invasion is imminent.

“We have reason to believe they are engaged in a false flag operation to have an excuse to go in,” Biden told reporters at the White House on Thursday. “Every indication we have is they’re prepared to go into Ukraine and attack Ukraine.”

The fact that Ukraine’s defense chief, who is certainly closer to the situation than anyone at the White House, directly contradicted Biden’s words is no minor thing.

Hizballah Claims Galilee Drone Overflight

Written on . Posted in PT Middle East.

The Lebanese terrorist group Hizballah claimed to have kept a military UAV in the sky for 40 minutes on Friday, Feb.18 at a depth of 70km over northern Israel. The drone was on a surveillance mission. The intruder eluded Israeli jets, helicopters and Iron Dome air defense missiles before returning unscathed to base. This is now the subject of an IDF investigation.

DEBKAfile reported earlier:

Sirens alerted Galilee dwellers in northeastern Israel, as well as, for the first time since 2006, Jordanian Valley villages north of the Sea of Galilee. Two rounds of alerts a few minutes apart before noon on Friday, followed by explosions in mid-air, sent people running for cover.

Philistia with the inhabitants of Tyre” Psalm 83:7

The military reported that a small flying object crossed into northern Israel from Lebanon and was tackled by the Air Force and Iron Dome air defense battery before turning tail. No reports of casualties or damage. Life has gone back to normal.

This was the second intrusion from Lebanon in 48 hours. On Thursday, a UAV was tracked as it flew over the border and was intercepted over Avivim.
