White House: Russia Increasing Supply of Heavy Weaponry in Ukraine

Blinken: Russia Increasing Supply of Heavy Weaponry in Ukraine (The Washington Free Beacon)

White House Deputy National Security Advisor Tony Blinken told reporters Monday that Russia is “increasing the supply of heavy equipment, weapons and fighters to the separatists across the border.”

“This is well documented in what we’ve seen, it’s well documented in social media,” Blinken said.

According to Blinken, the White House suspects that Russia may be trying to egg the Ukrainians into actions they could use to justify a Russian humanitarian or peace-keeping intervention–although Blinken was careful to couch “justify” and “intervention” in quotation marks.
