As Eastern European and Western governments rush to a prewar footing over an anticipated Russian invasion of Ukraine, the mood inside Kiev remains calm and skeptical, local citizens told Just the News.
People in town are not worried, said former infantry officer Yaroslav Vasylyuk, who served in the Ukrainian armed forces.
"The majority of the population don't believe in the intentions of Russia," Vasylyuk said.
International tension has soared as Russia maintains an estimated 100,000 troops along its border with Ukraine, and has issued ominous statements about "The start of a countdown," and claims that Moscow is being "Provoked." Moscow has claimed to be angry over the proposition that Ukraine would join NATO, even though Ukraine likely would not be admitted into the alliance.
"There arrives a moment of truth when the West either accepts our proposals or other ways will be found to safeguard Russia's security," Gavrilov said, adding: "We are running out of time. The countdown begins." But while those comments alarmed the West and the countries surrounding Ukraine, the soldiers in Kiev shrugged off the notion of being threatened.
"The logical explanation is to press the Ukrainian government to make concessions to Russia," Vasylyuk said.
The armed forces of Ukraine are alert but not alarmed, Anatoly said.
It's becoming increasingly difficult to discern fact from fiction, and unfortunately the media has a strong bias. They spin stories to make conservatives look bad and will go to great lengths to avoid reporting on the good that comes from conservative policies. There are a few shining lights in the media landscape-brave conservative outlets that report the truth and offer a different perspective. We must support conservative outlets like this one and ensure that our voices are heard.
