Russia Announces Need for "Security Buffer Zone; Will Take More of Ukraine

Russia President Vladimir Putin has announced the need for a "Security Buffer Zone" between Russia and Ukraine.  This means that in addition to the Ukraine Oblasts already made part of Russia, Kharkiv, Sumy and Chernihiv will also be taken.

For better than a year, Russia has been dividing-up it's 30,000 new Army Recruits per month into three separate batches.  One of those batches (10,000 a month) has been going to a "Group N" which is a new military unit of the Russian Army.  

Most observers __thought__ this new unit was established because Finland became a NATO member, to bolster Russia's western border.  Apparently, that was not the case.

With more than 120,000 troops already massed in the new Russian Army "Group N," we find out today that additional parts of Ukraine will have to be taken to create a Security Buffer Zone for the Russian areas of Kursk, Bryansk, and Belgorod.

Given that Kursk was, in fact, invaded by Ukraine, the need for a buffer zone is readily apparent.  

Europe, which just last week enacted its 17th batch of Sanctions against Russia, just found out how much Russia doesn't care.  

The United States, which earlier this week began publicly talking about another $50 Million in weapons for Ukraine, just found out what Russia thinks of THAT, too.

This is all starting to go the wrong way again.
