Media released documents allegedly developed the National Security Council of Russia, which describe the strategy capture the Russian Federation “Russian” regions of Ukraine – all the east, center, south and north and Kiev.

Chief Editor of “KyivPost” Catherine Gorchinskaya distributed social networking plan that was allegedly made by the Council of National Security of the Russian Federation in the days of mass struggles in the center of Kiev. Clashes in Ukraine the document’s authors decided to use to your advantage. In particular, we plan to establish control over the capital of Ukraine and attach “Russian regions” of Ukraine, in particular, Crimea, Luhansk, Donetsk, Zaporozhye, Dnepropetrovsk, Chernigov, Sumy, Kharkiv, Kiev, Kherson, Mykolaiv and Odessa area.

“Only a complete entry Russian territories in Ukraine, namely Crimea, Luhansk, Donetsk, Zaporozhye, Dnepropetrovsk, Chernigov, Sumy, Kharkiv, Kiev, Kherson, Nikolaev, Odessa regions in Russia can guarantee peace, security and prosperity for their populations, as well as reliable protecting the interests of Russia “- the document says.

The original news report states the following in Russian:

СМИ обнародовали документы, якобы разработанные Советом национальной безопасности России, в которых говорится о стратегии захвата РФ “российских” областей Украины – всего востока, центра, юга и севера и Киева.

Главный редактор издания “KyivPost” Екатерина Горчинская распространила в соцсетях план, который якобы был составлен Советом нацбезопасности РФ еще во времена массовых противостояний в центре Киева. Столкновения в Украине авторы документа решили использовать в свою пользу. В частности, планируется установить контроль над столицей Украины и присоединить “российские области” Украины, в частности, Крым, Луганскую, Донецкую, Запорожскую, Днепропетровскую, Черниговскую, Сумскую, Харьковскую, Киевскую, Херсонскую, Николаевскую и Одесскую области.

Whether Russia gets more of Ukraine or not, clearly Russia wants Ukraine more. The USA’s position seems to be that it hopes that economic sanctions, political pressures, and bureaucratic moves will dissuade Russia from taking more steps.

Russia most likely is carefully considering the best way to get additional territories, and may simply decide to not directly intervene militarily beyond Crimea for a time, in the hopes that parts of Ukraine and Moldova will make more public moves towards Russia. The Bible tells that a final Eurasian confederation led by Russia (Jeremiah 50:41-43) and other kings of the Medes will arise (Jeremiah 51:11-32).

Russia wants Crimea more than the USA wants it outside of Russian domination, and Russia intends to keep it.
