The Olenya airfield, as one of the most protected and remote, was chosen for the concentration of strategic aviation forces and ammunition.

This is the largest redeployment of strategic aviation since the beginning of the conflict.

This redeployment may indicate that the Russian Aerospace Forces are preparing for a large-scale operation.

Russian blogger “Russian Arms” claimed that 'Over the past two weeks, the Russian Armed Forces have redeployed about 40 Tu-22M3 long-range bombers to the Olenya airfield, as well as about 20% of all Tu-95MS aircraft in the country.

There is no evidence residents of the Suwalki Gap have started leaving en masse

Vladimir, STOP!

Oh buoy!

The Biden team is repeating the same obfuscatory tactics used during their time in the White House, and news outlets continuing to rely on the very same unattributed and unverified voices raises serious credibility questions.

Said a POLITICO spokesperson after Tapper declined to identify his source

It's unlikely that a large number of missile systems costing $1.1 billion each are just sitting in warehouses collecting dust

It's the same statement, no change of emphasis. If you mean the reference to the EU that's Etats-Unis, the United States

Another of his 'I'm not happy with Russia' statements that's followed up by... nothing

Because Putin is worried about a flypast of Ukrainian drones over his parade.

We in Ukraine never wanted a single second of this war. Back on March 11, we responded positively to the American proposal for a full ceasefire. We made our own proposal to Russia – bilaterally – to halt strikes at least on civilian targets. We also proposed making the Easter ceasefire full and extending it for thirty days. Russia has consistently rejected everything and continues to manipulate the world, trying to deceive the United States. Now, yet again, another attempt at manipulation: for some reason everyone is supposed to wait until May 8 before ceasing fire — just to provide Putin with silence for his parade. We value human lives, not parades. That’s why we believe — and the world believes — that there is no reason to wait until May 8. The ceasefire should not be just for a few days, only to return to killing afterward. It must be immediate, full, and unconditional — for at least 30 days to ensure it is secure and guaranteed. This is the foundation that could lead to real diplomacy. We reaffirm this proposal. The American proposal also remains on the table. Russia knows exactly what it needs to do and how to respond: to genuinely cease fire.
