U.S. Intelligence Reveals Russia Planning To Annex Captured Ukraine Territory



New U.S. intelligence is revealing that Russia is laying the groundwork to permanently keep the territory it captured in Ukraine by annexing it. This would mean that Russia would consider any attack on the area as an attack on Russia itself. The U.S. is sending weapons to Ukraine on the condition they not be fired into Russia territory. If the weapons are fired in the newly annexed territory, it could create a crisis. Meanwhile, Russian President Putin made a high profile visit to Iran to show that his country still has allies, also including China and India.

  1. China and India will help Russia with thousands of missiles and drones and millions of mercenaries soon

  2. No s*** that a real shocker, some news.

  3. No s*** that a real shocker, some news.

  4. West Ukrainians shooting at East Ukrainians since 2014
    https://youtu.be/3qkTgBOU7BA
    its a civil war 🤥🤫

  5. Wasn't Puerto Rico, Hawaii, Guam, Virgin Islands annex by USA? Wasn't Ukraine part of Russia before? Wasn't part of Mexico annex by USA?

  6. ince Ivan the Terrible, Russia has never known democracy, liberty, ethical governance, and the basic freedoms we hold so dear. From Czarist times, Communism and Lenin, the butcher Stalin, through the fall of the Soviet Union and the rise of Putin’s kleptocracy, the Russian people have never known moral or ethical leadership, whether from the politicians or the compromised Russian Orthodox Church. The consequence of this is that the Russians have never had a living, positive example of ethical training or development. From the lowest to the highest strata of Russian society, they are bereft of any effective mortal compass. What does the future hold? It looks like a very grim future for Russia. How will they change? How will they mature? How will they ever enjoy freedom?

  7. That brothers hairline starts literally at the nape of his neck…fix that!

  8. 😝🤪🤑😜 can you release it?

  9. The war in Ukraine does NOT have the support of the majority of American people. The United States is being invaded at our southern border and the Biden Administration is not protecting our own country‼️ Zelenskyy is delaying the inevitable and must begin peace negotiations and stop the carnage‼️ Russia has been joined by China, Iran, Turkey, Syria and several other countries, and WILL use nuclear weapons if necessary! Russia will win the The Donbas and South Ukraine. PRAY FOR PEACE and for the innocent people of Ukraine and the innocent people of Russia. ♥️ 🇺🇦 ♥️ 🇷🇺

  10. Well he's threatening nukes again like 6k nukes won't be raining down on Russia, completely depopulating it for thousands of years. I'd hope Putin isn't willing to see the end of civilization for a war he started and cannot win.

  11. Whoever secures sovereignty over Donbas has the largest oil and gas reserve in Europe after the North Sea.

    A very valuable prize.

  12. 🎶Soviet anthem playing in the background 🎶

  13. They should remove the word intelligence from their name.🤣🤣🤣

  14. Ukraine should start lobbing missiles on Moscow. Maybe then the Russian
    people would finally rise up and overthrow that freak who pretends to
    be their leader.

  15. Ask your self one Question.
    Why is it that the only time in recent history.
    Russian government invasion only Happens When Biden is in the white house 🤔🤔🤔🤔

  16. This is not news, they were planning to take the whole of Ukraine and shifted their attention to the east due to stiff resistance. Putin even said Ukraine and Russia is one right before he invaded.

  17. i think usa should just invade russia. probably take couple of weeks to annex russia as a usa state.

  18. Whomever developed the delivery system for the M142 High Mobility Artillery Rocket System is a genius. The plume trail is clean, conformed and ultra fast.

  19. you know most of your population dont support this NATO driven proxy war right? ……

  20. Surprise… obvious Russians die to conquer these lands. By the way are prorussian lands . Why are Ukranians?

  21. May Putin's House of Lies come to an abrupt end.

  22. Did usa invade Iraq? And nobody sanctioned them?

  23. Well, true (to some extent) USA did not do it in Iraq, but they did it in USA directly (Texas, Hawaii, etc) and (with its continous presence) in many other countries, including EU, indirectly. On the other hand, and not that I justify anything that is going on now, Ukraine was part of Soviet Union, they were not worlds apart, they coexisted.
    Majority of dysfunctional places try to “put a cart in front of a horse”, so to speak. In Ukraine (not to mention other countries) USA did it in the worst way possible. They hijacked the control over the country driven solely by their own interests. EU is not much better. EU requires that countries which want to join EU must become better Europeans than EU citizens in order to qualify. It does not make sense, unless it is intentional. It is not that those countries need to enter EU, instead EU needs to enter those countries with new businesses, better infrastructure, develop well organised systems and bring the change from inside out vs open the door to just another wave of migrants to fill the news. In other words, do not subdue other countries only to exploit or create foreign soldiers. Why the Roman Empire deja vue? The history shows that every time an intolerant minority group of people starts to crave power from foreign rulers it will cause corruption with no end in sight. After WWII Germany was split in two. 40+ years later the country was reunited. Dare to try again and stop this war? Let's just put a horse where it belongs, and stop wasting time on analysis that lead us nowhere. We will have a great past only when we create a better future. If not now then when? If not us then who?

  24. Hello I'm from Ukraine. This Russia🇷🇺vs🇺🇦Ukraine war has made me learn how to earn income seating at home 🏡
