Russian state media is reporting an explosion "within a few meters of the Donetsk People's Republic's headquarters. Seems a lot like the casus belli Russia has been looking for—and that US intel warned it would manufacture. — PolitiTweet.org

РИА Новости @rianru

Взрыв прогремел в нескольких десятках метров от здания правительства ДНР

Belarusian president Lukanshenka says the quiet part loud: the current military exercises, he says, are a reaction to the West's actions. The Russian government has insisted that the exercises were planned long ago and have nothing to do with Ukraine. https://t.co/xrv5iYvXsH — PolitiTweet.org

@KevinRothrock @sarahrainsford @biannagolodryga Yes. Which is what makes it complicated. Zelensky saying that Ukraine is going to stop trying to get into NATO would be political suicide for him, and whoever replaces him will have to take up the issue again. — PolitiTweet.org

@KevinRothrock @sarahrainsford @biannagolodryga And yet Russia seems intent on driving Ukraine further into NATO's arms with this kind of action. It's almost as if Putin can only understand force. — PolitiTweet.org

In Washington foreign policy circles, Putin's classic tactic is called "escalate to deescalate." Now, the 2.0 version: "escalate to deescalate to escalate." — PolitiTweet.org

If true, this would be classically Russian: say you draw down your forces because you come in peace, move some troops around and around and release video of it as proof that they're going home, but actually *add* to your troop count instead of reducing it. [chef's kiss] — PolitiTweet.org
