(Reuters) - Satellite images show multiple new field deployments of armored equipment and troops from Russian garrisons near the border with Ukraine, a private U.S. company said on Sunday, in what its director said indicated increased military readiness.

The new activity comes as Russia extended military drills in Belarus that were due to end on Sunday, heightening fears among Western powers over an imminent Russian invasion of Ukraine.

The images released by U.S.-based Maxar Technologies, which has been tracking the buildup of Russian forces for weeks, could not be independently verified by Reuters.

"This new activity represents a change in the pattern of the previously observed deployments of battle groups (tanks, armored personnel carriers, artillery and support equipment)," Maxar said in a release on Sunday.

Several large deployments of battle groups had been observed around the military garrison at Soloti, Russia, as of Feb. 13 according to satellite images, Maxar said.

Images on Sunday showed most of the combat units and support equipment at Soloti had departed. Extensive vehicle tracks and some convoys of armored equipment were seen throughout the area, the company said.

Some equipment has also been deployed east of nearby Valuyki, Russia, in a field approximately 15 km (9 miles) north of the Ukrainian border. A number of new field deployments are also seen northwest of the Russian city of Belgorod, Maxar said.

Based on the tracks and the snow, the activity appeared to be recent, Stephen Wood, senior director at Maxar News Bureau, told Reuters.

"To me it indicates an increased state of readiness," he said.

French TV channel claims Macron and Putin had two phone conversations on Sunday

According to BFM, the second conversation lasted one hour

21 Feb, 06:48

"PARIS, February 21. /TASS/. French President Emmanuel Macron called Russian President Vladimir Putin twice on Sunday, France’s BFM TV channel reported on Monday. According to the TV channel, the second conversation lasted one hour. Details of the conversation are not reported.

The first telephone conversation between the presidents of Russia and France took place in the morning of February 20 and lasted 1 hour and 45 minutes.

As a result, according to the Elysee Palace, the two leaders agreed to resume work in the Normandy format to organize a Trilateral Contact Group meeting to receive commitments to cease fire along the contact line in Donbass from all the sides.

After negotiations with Putin, Macron called Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky. Their conversation lasted half an hour. During that conversation, Zelensky promised not to respond to provocations and to observe the ceasefire in Donbass, the Elysee Palace reported.

On Sunday evening, after talking to Zelensky, Macron held talks with German Chancellor Olaf Scholz, US President Joe Biden and British Prime Minister Boris Johnson"

Elysee Palace announces consent of Putin and Biden to hold security summit

Questions for the summit will be prepared by Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov and US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken during their February 24 meeting

21 Feb, 10:36

"MOSCOW, February 21. /TASS/. Russian President Vladimir Putin and US President Joe Biden accepted the proposal of French President Emmanuel Macron to hold a summit on security and strategic stability in Europe.As the Elysee Palace reported on Sunday, Macron "proposed holding a summit between President Biden and President Putin, and then with relevant interested parties, to discuss issues of security and strategic stability in Europe."

The heads of the United States and the Russian Federation "agreed to the provisions of such a summit meeting." Questions for the summit will be prepared by Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov and US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken during their February 24 meeting.
Such a meeting "can take place only on the condition that Russia does not invade Ukraine."

Earlier on Sunday, French President Emmanuel Macron had two phone calls with Russian President Vladimir Putin and also held telephone conversations with US President Joe Biden, Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky, German Chancellor Olaf Scholz and British Prime Minister Boris Johnson.

Western countries and the Kiev regime have been spreading allegations lately about Russia’s potential invasion of Ukraine. Kremlin Spokesman Dmitry Peskov castigated these speculations as an "empty and groundless" escalation of tension. He did not rule out the probability of provocations to justify such allegations and warned that attempts to resolve the crisis in southeastern Ukraine through military means would have serious consequences."

You'll need to refresh my memory. There was Bosnia and there was Serbia, in both cases it was the local combatants who were splattering the citizens. If they count as aaa and bbb then the only one I can think of for ccc would be Afghanistan.
I think they still have some people in Kosovo, where no citizen splattering is going on, mainly because they are there.
Where does the rest of the alphabet come from?

Germany and France (Europe) don't want Ukraine in NATO and want to buy Russian gas. The US and UK news want Ukraine in NATO and they control NATO. And they don't want Germany to buy Russian gas.

STOP peddling your opinion as fact. You are the warmonger here, constantly telling lies to procure your desired effect.
On the other hand, everyone now knows just how dumb and belligerent you are. Thank you for confirming that you are a witless liar.

I hope you've changed your nappy little boy- your shit stinks.

You're probably an expert on these things given that you spend your entire time talking out of your arse.

Iraq - white powder, Iran (some time ago) and recent with assistance from a UK created ME country, Libya - No fly zone -> splattering, Syria - splattering continues ....

Nah, he's milking the markets. Every announcement means a whiplash. Money to be made from every one, up or down.

[cyrille]

Big help, that.

[Shutree]

> splattering, Syria - splattering continues ....

Are NATO deployed in Syria? Really, I don't follow those stories these days and I don't know. I thought it was just Turkey acting outside the NATO remit. Anything is possible.

China has important ties with both Ukraine and Russia, but how long can it stay quiet on crisis?


Beijing has declared that its partnership with Moscow has "no limits" while still maintaining strong ties with Kyiv.

Under the premiership of Xi Jinping, China has furthered its deep strategic and business partnerships with both countries, leaving it hesitant to pick a side openly.

Not only is China Ukraine's largest trading partner, but Kyiv has also helped Beijing build up its military assets.

China's Foreign Minister Wang Yi said over the weekend that all parties should return to the 2015 Minsk Agreement — a road map towards peace in war-torn eastern Ukraine.

He said "certain major countries" were contributing to a new Cold War mentality and that the sovereignty, independence and territorial integrity of all countries should be safeguarded.

"China expects all parties to find a solution that is truly conducive to safeguarding European security through dialogue and consultations," Mr Wang added.

It echoed comments earlier this month from French President Emmanuel Macron, who said revival of the Minsk Agreement was the "only path on which peace can be built".

Russia-Ukraine crisis: Kremlin knocks back Emmanuel Macron over proposed Biden-Putin summit

The Kremlin has said it is too early to organise a summit between Vladimir Putin and US President Joe Biden, after Paris announced the possibility of a meeting to calm tensions over Ukraine.

"It's premature to talk about any specific plans for organising any kind of summits," Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters, adding that no "concrete plans" had been put in place for a meeting.

On Sunday, Emmanuel Macron announced he had brokered a deal for Mr Biden and Mr Putin to participate in a summit over Ukraine if the feared Russian invasion does not take place.

The summit would take place after a scheduled meeting between US secretary of state Antony Blinken and his Russian opposite number, Sergei Lavrov, which is also conditional on Moscow not pressing ahead with military action.

Jen Psaki, the White House press secretary, also announced the move in a statement on Sunday night amid mounting fears in the US that an invasion is imminent.

However, several administration officials on Sunday played down the reports of a possible summit, saying that Mr. Putin has a history of agreeing to talks even as he prepares for — and ultimately engages in — armed conflict.

Russia, China agree new coal deal for 100 million ton supply: state media



Robert L. Wilkie, former undersecretary of defense for personnel and readiness during the Trump administration and visiting fellow at the Heritage Foundation, previously told Fox News Digital that China would play a role in mitigating any U.S. sanctions placed on Russia in the event Vladimir Putin authorizes any military action in Ukraine.

"A lot of the talk about economic sanctions is really a pie in the sky because China is now Russia’s banker," Wilkie said. "Xi Jinping will back Putin if sanctions from the West come."

BLINKEN RESPONDS TO ZELENSKYY'S PLEA: NO SANCTIONS UNTIL ‘BOMBS ARE ACTUALLY DROPPING’

Wilkie focused his argument on Beijing increasing its purchase of oil from Russia, which already stands as the second-largest exporter of oil to China, but the energy market appeared the easiest path for China to provide economic relief to Moscow.

"[China] would start buying a lot more energy from Russia," Wilkie explained. "If we went to move on the SWIFT loan system that gives Russia access to western capital, China would pick up the slack with that."

"Even if the Germans were to do an about-face on the Nord Stream 2, China would pick up the slack – they need the energy as much if not more than Europe does. That's how I would see that playing out," he said.

Nice to see you are quoting right wing trumpanzees who happen to be working for the shitbird "heritage" foundation. Where can we start with that trash pile? Climate change denial, anti-universal healthcare, pro Iraq and Afgan wars, supports trumps fake claims of election fraud. It goes on and on. It would appear that you are desperate for bedfellows, dummy.

I am sure that skiddy will be along shortly to humiliate himself once again.
