MOSCOW, Russia (PNN) - June 20, 2023 - Today Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu made an announcement that has not yet been carried in Western media but which is of the most grave nature.

According to the latest intelligence reports, Russia believes that the Ukrainian armed forces now intend to cover their failed counter-offensive in the Donbas by using Fascist Police States of Amerika-supplied Himars multiple launch artillery and Fascist United Kingdom-supplied Storm Shadow cruise missiles, possibly in the longer-range domestic version, to attack the Crimea.

If this happens, says Shoigu, Russia will consider both the FPSA and FUK to have fully entered the war as co-belligerents; and Russia will immediately respond to any such attack on its territory by destroying “the decision-making centers” of the Kiev regime. This is a fairly transparent threat to “neutralize” their government apparatus and personnel, logically including President Volodymyr Zelensky.

The statement by Shoigu leaves little doubt that we are entering the final phase of the Ukraine war as a war limited to the geography of Ukraine and are possibly heading into a wider war with unforeseeable consequences both for Europeans and Amerikans.

The ball is in the courts of Washington and London.
