NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg told German public broadcaster ARD on Saturday that all signs suggest Russia "is planning a full-scale attack on Ukraine."
"No troops are being withdrawn, as Russia says, but new troops are being added," he said, adding that there were also indications that Russia was preparing to create a pretext for an attack.
Still, Stoltenberg said NATO is committed to a political solution. "We want to get Russia to change course and sit down with us," he said.
NATO has relocated staff from Kyiv to western Ukraine and Brussels amid the escalating tensions, according to a statement shared with DW.
Ukraine is not a member state, and NATO has no troops there, but there are areas of cooperation and some individual NATO member states have made contributions to Ukraine's national defense.
In Kyiv, NATO has maintained a NATO Liaison Office and a NATO Information and Documentation Center since the late 1990s.
Meanwhile, the White House reiterated warnings that Russia could launch an attack against Ukraine at any time, and said that US President Joe Biden would convene a rare meeting of the National Security Council on the situation in Ukraine.

Nukes anyone?!? Too soon?

The blast model in this website is a simulation showing the destruction damage that the nuclear weapon can inflict on human, structures at the ground-level, low and high altitude . A new map simulation is coming soon.
The blast effects are usually measured by the amount of overpressure, the pressure in excess of the normal atmospheric value, in pounds per square inch (psi)
*** maybe we’ll avoid it, maybe not ***

Why the CIA Director Is Declassifying Material on Russia’s Ukraine Plot
{William Burns testifies during his Senate Select Intelligence Committee confirmation hearing on Capitol Hill in Washington, on Feb. 24, 2021.}
“An ignorance of history isn’t an excuse for bad analysis—especially when your own spies have the evidence on their desks. And few in government understand the perils of a blindspot better than CIA Director William J. Burns.
That’s why in recent weeks, U.S. intelligence officials have moved to quickly declassify what they have said is a Russian plan to spread disinformation about a purported Ukrainian attack on Russian soil. Such a move by Kyiv would precipitate Moscow’s retaliation that wouldn’t stop at borders and instead roll into the Ukrainian capital. In other words, it’s a false-flag operation that could spark the biggest land war in Europe since the 1940s. Put simply: don’t believe everything you read.”
