The United States, Spain, Italy, and Greece have closed and evacuated their Embassies in Kiev, Ukraine, fearing a probable Russian nuclear missile launch.
Ukrainian Intelligence reports that Russian forces are preparing to launch the RS-26 missile from Kapustin Yar (Astrakhan region), possibly targeting Kiev.
Here are the missile's capabilities:
Range: Up to 6,000 km.
Accuracy: 150 meters.
Starting Weight: 50 tons.
Warhead Weight: 1.2 tons.
This development underscores the escalating tensions and the potential for serious global consequences.
If reports are correct, the Russian missile attack will come from Kapustin Yar against Kiev and against Lviv, wiping out both cities:
Ukrainian surveillance resources are also starting to raise concerns, claiming that the Russian Air Force has massed a large number of Tu-95 and Tu-160 strategic bombers near the border.
It is being said that Russia is doing this because of successes the Ukraine military has had over the past 24 hours, using west-supplied missiles against Russian military bases inside Russia.
All this trouble because US and NATO military "experts" listen to their own echo chamber instead of seeing reality. The reality is simple: Russia cannot and will not allow Ukraine to join NATO, or place NATO troops or missiles on Ukraine territory.
Unless Russia stops the expansion of NATO right now - while it still can - NATO will completely encircle Russia, allowing it to decapitate Russia, take all its land, and break the country up.
The Russians simply have no choice but to do what they're doing with Ukraine. If Russia waited, and did not move to stop Ukraine joining NATO, there would be no hope of Russia being able to survive in the future.
So Russia has chosen to fight it out now, before they become encircled, as an act of Russian self-defense from NATO.
