Vladimir Putin is putting on a show of military strength today with new nuclear drills as he sends a MIG armed with a hypersonic missile over the Mediterranean amid increasing fears of an imminent invasion of Ukraine.
Putin has been "invading Ukraine" for the past 8 years now, so much of this is nothing new, at least not to the citizens of Ukraine. But what is new is the stunning show of military force that Russia has been exhibiting over the past few days. Russian troops are now at highest levels ever, with Putin firing off MIGs armed with hypersonic missiles over the Mediterranean ocean.
"Therefore, thou son of man, prophesy against Gog, and say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I am against thee, O Gog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal:" Ezekiel 39:1 (KJB)
What Putin ultimately wants is to take the Ukrainian capital of Kyiv, and this has sent NATO into a frenzy and flurry of activity this weekend. As all this intrigue continues to unfold, keep your eyes on Belarus, who is preparing to allow Russia to put nuclear weapons there. The key to understanding all of this is found in that dime store book known as the King James Bible, for in it, you have a "more sure word" of prophecy.
Putin launches huge nuclear missile exercises and sends a MIG armed with hypersonic missile over Mediterranean as US warns his 160,000 troops on Ukraine border are 'uncoiling' and 'poised to strike'
FROM THE DAILY MAIL UK: The Russian leader is personally overseeing the nuclear exercises involving 'strategic forces' which will include practice launches of intercontinental ballistic missiles and cruise missiles. Belarusian strongman Alexander Lukashenko is joining Putin in the situation room in the Kremlin to watch over the strategic drills. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said today's drills 'should not cause anyone concern' and said Russia had informed the proper channels.
Russia holds huge strategic drills every year but today's manoeuvres include the Black Sea Fleet, based on the Crimean Peninsula annexed by Russia in 2014. Russia has also sent a MIG-31K and a Tu-22M3 bomber over the Mediterranean in another show of force amid the rising tensions. The warplane is deployed with the new ultra high speed Kinzhal air-launched ballistic missiles. The 24-foot-long, one-ton Kinzhal - or Dagger - can carry conventional or nuclear warheads, and Russia boasts it has no match among Western defences. The hypersonic Kinzhal has a range of 1,250 miles and could pummel Ukrainian troops and defences without flying close to the country. Russia is believed to have around 20 Kinzhal-compatible MiG-31Ks in total.
Video footage has also emerged which graphically demonstrates the sheer intensity of the bombardment that Russian-backed forces have unleashed on Ukraine in the last two days. In night-time footage taken from the port city of Mariupol on the Sea of Azov, just a few miles from the front line, shells could be heard raining down almost incessantly on Ukrainian positions for five hours.
The distant flashes from the exploding 122mm and 152mm heavy artillery and mortars on the video posted on censor.net were reminiscent of WW1 trench warfare.
One resident of the city posted on Facebook: 'No-one in Mariupol is sleeping tonight.'
According to the Ukrainian government there were a total of 66 ceasefire violations by the pro-Russian rebels overnight, involving hundreds of shells. In a separate incident at a front-line checkpoint at Schastia, which ironically means 'Happiness' in Ukrainian, more incoming shells blasted onto a car park in daytime CCTV footage provided by the Ukraine government. Shelling also damaged a pumping station in Donetsk Oblast, threatening water supply to 46 towns and villages in the Ukrainian-controlled parts of the region, Ukraine's authorities reported. READ MORE
