RUSSIA UKRAINE: REBELS IN UKRAINE ACCUSE GOVERNMENT SOLDIERS OF MORTAR BOMBARDMENT

By -


 

The White House warned on Wednesday that a Russian invasion of Ukraine could happen at any time, as President Joe Biden revealed plans to send Vice President Kamala Harris and Secretary of State Tony Blinken to the Munich summit to meet world leaders and unite them against Moscow.

Jen Psaki, the White House press secretary, said that an attack might happen at any time. "We are in the window where we believe an attack could happen at any time," Psaki said at her daily news conference, "and that would be preceded by a false pretext that the Russians would use as a justification to conduct an invasion."

"We've talked about this before, and we've seen these strategies in action. These could include, but are not limited to, the report you just mentioned, claims of provocation in Donbass, and false state media reports, all of which I believe you should be aware of, as should everyone else, potentially fake videos and accusations of chemical weapons or accounts of attacks on Russian soldiers that did not occur "she stated In answer to a question, Psaki informed reporters that an invasion may be preceded by a variety of false flags and pretexts.

"And we're still in that window."

Both Harris and Blinken are currently en route to Munich, Germany, for the Munich Security Conference, which will take place from February 18 to 20. "She will continue to emphasise with our partners our ironclad commitment to our NATO allies, underscore our commitment to Ukraine's sovereignty and territorial integrity, and reaffirm our shared interest in upholding the principles that have underpinned European peace and security," Psaki said.

"She will take part in the conference's formal programme as well as engage with allies and partners and meet with leaders on the fringes," the press secretary added.

The Kremlin has repeatedly rejected any plans to attack Ukraine, but has insisted that NATO never admit Ukraine or other ex-Soviet countries as members, and that troop deployments in former Soviet bloc countries be scaled back.

"What the President expects, and knows, is that she will continue to convey to the rest of the world, again, our ironclad commitment to our NATO allies, our commitment to defending the territorial integrity and sovereignty of Ukraine, and our commitment to imposing severe economic consequences should Russia invade," she said.

Earlier in the day, Secretary of State Blinken stated that Russian forces are still massed around the border in a highly menacing manner. Of course, diplomacy remains an option, according to Psaki.

  Mumbai: The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) announced on Wednesday that the Large Area Soft X-ray Spectrometer (CLASS), a payload on board the Chandrayaan-2 Orbiter, had discovered solar proton events (SPEs), which considerably increase radiation exposure to humans in space. Coronal mass ejections (CMEs), a tremendous torrent of ionised material and magnetic fields that reach Earth a few days later, causing geomagnetic storms and lighting up the polar sky with auroras, were also observed by the sensor on January 18. According to the ISRO, such multi-point measurements helps in the understanding of propagation and its impact on various planetary systems. Solar flares are dramatic explosions that occasionally spew out energetic particles (called Solar Proton Events or SPEs) into interplanetary space when the Sun is active. The majority of these are high-energy protons that have an influence on space systems and increase radiation exposure to astronauts. According ...
