Russian Commanders Reportedly Given Orders to Invade Ukraine
By New York Post. The US has intelligence that Russian commanders have already received their orders to invade Ukraine, a report said Sunday — and Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin said he doesn’t believe President Vladimir Putin is “bluffing.”
“He’s been very deliberate in terms of assembling the right kind of combat and combat support capabilities in the border region, and so he has a number of options available to him there. And he could, he could attack in short order,” Austin told host Martha Raddatz on ABC News’ “This Week.”

“No, I don’t believe it’s a bluff,” the secretary responded, adding that he thinks the Russian president has gathered the forces and equipment “you would need to conduct a successful invasion.”
