stationiert und 40.000 Soldaten in volle Alarmbereitschaft versetzt. Dies scheint der wahre Grund zu sein, warum Putin zehn Tage von der Bildfläche verschwand.
Betrachtet man die Lage in der Ukraine nüchtern, dürfte klar sein, dass Minsk II nicht das Ende der Kämpfe einläutete, sondern lediglich eine längere Kampfpause. Poroschenko brauchte diese Zeit offenbar, um Waffen (aus inzwischen elf (!) westl. Ländern) reinzuholen und Truppen und Hilfstruppen (teils aus USA) aufzustellen.
Wir sehen in der Ukraine daher gerade eine Art Ruhe vor dem großen Sturm. Da dies auch die Russen wissen, bereiten sie sich mit obigen Maßnahmen ihrerseits auf einen größeren Krieg vor. Er dürfte dahingehend eskalieren, dass nun auch russische Bomber und im Extremfall sogar Nuklearwaffen zum Einsatz kommen (Putin hat bereits mit dem Einsatz von Atomwaffen gedroht, siehe ZH unten).

Russia Escalates Military Posture: Deploys Strategic Bombers To Crimea, Launches Massive Drills Across Nation
All those who were wondering where Putin had "disappeared" to, and spreading rumors whether it was more likely his girlfriend had given birth in Switzerland or aliens had abducted him, will probably be satisfied if he were to promptly disappear once more following news that not only yesterday had he put 40,000 troops on full alert as part of "snap-readiness exercises", but less than 24 hours followed this up with even more demonstrative military "drills" after Sputnik reported that Russian strategic Tu-22M3 (Backfire) strike bombers have been deployed to the Crimean Peninsula to hold snap combat readiness drills, a source in the Russian Defense Ministry said Tuesday, in addition to further massive troops and equipment deployment tests in the western part of the nation as well as around the Arctic circle.
As a reminder, Crimea was recently in the news following a weekend report citing Putin that he was ready to use nukes to secure the recently repossessed peninsula. So one can perhaps look at this as de-escalation.
“During the snap combat readiness drills by the Armed Forces, strategic Tu-22M3s will be deployed to Crimea,” the source said....
