INTELLIGENCE OFFICIALS IN THE United States are becoming increasingly convinced that Russia is contemplating extensive military action in Ukraine, according to Western insiders.
Russian troop concentrations near the Ukrainian border have been “large and unusual” for several weeks,
according to observers.
The New York Times reports that
American intelligence assessments do not view war in Ukraine as an
inevitable outcome of Moscow’s military maneuvers in western Russia. In
fact, many suggest that Russian President Vladimir Putin “has not yet
decided” how to proceed in Ukraine. Nevertheless, “all the pieces are in
place” for a large-scale military invasion, according to experts who spoke to The Times.
The number of American intelligence
observers who believe that Moscow’s military maneuvers may represent a
bluff is gradually shrinking. Some believe that the Kremlin’s goal is to
establish command over a larger and more unified landmass than the one
it currently controls in southeastern Ukraine, and thus secure a
contiguous land linking Russian soil with the territory it occupies in
Ukraine.
Washington has been sharing intelligence
on this fast-changing situation with Ukraine, while also briefing its
North Atlantic Treaty Organization partners. Last week, the United
States Director of National Intelligence Avril Haines visited Brussels
for discussions with NATO ambassadors. The unusual visit
to Russia by Central Intelligence Agency Director William Burns, which
took place in early November, may also be connected to the rising
tensions in Ukraine, according to The Times.
