"Russia has never hatched, is not hatching and will never hatch any plans to attack anyone."

"These military exercises, drills, are purely defensive and are not a threat to any other country."

"We [Russians] learn from US newspapers that we will attack Ukraine."

"The geopolitical objective of Russia today is clearly not Ukraine."

"Right now, the people's biggest enemy is panic in our country [Ukraine]."

"There is a risk for a full-fledged invasion."

"We are talking about the real possibility of war in Europe."

"One way or another, [Putin] wants Ukraine neutralized."

Russia is looking for "an excuse to go in."

"[A]n invasion could be imminent, and it is highly likely."

"Russia may launch an attack on Ukraine on Saturday, February 19, 2022."

"As of this moment I'm convinced he's made the decision" and an assault could occur in the "coming days."

Will Russia Invade Ukraine?

Russian forces continued to make territorial advances over the past day of fighting in Ukraine, analysts from the Institute for the Study of War (ISW) said Thursday.

ISW, a US military think tank that tracks battlefield progress in the war, said: "Russian forces continue to make slow, steady advances in the Pokrovsk direction" of Donetsk — a strategically important city west of Avdiivka that serves as a Ukrainian military transport hub.

The advances were confirmed by DeepState, a war-mapping service with ties to Ukraine's military. They reported Thursday that in the direction of Pokrovsk, Russian forces had captured the village of Vesele and advanced in four nearby settlements over the past day.

Ukrainska Pravda

ISW further reported that Russia made additional gains in the Donetsk region — namely near Chasiv Yar, Toretsk and Donetsk city — as well as near Svatove in the bordering Luhansk region.

Speaking with French media on Thursday, Ukrainian Pres. Volodymyr Zelenskyy blamed the territorial losses on a lack of weaponry and equipment available to the country's 14 brigades, stating that there was insufficient materiel to rotate troops and give them rest.

TASS

Zelenskyy further pointed to the West's restrictions on the use of long-range missiles they've provided the country, calling once again for distance restrictions to be lifted so Ukraine can strike targets deeper into Russian territory.
