Rally against Russian aggression in Ukraine scheduled for March 5
|
WASHINGTON – With the situation in eastern Ukraine having reached a critical stage and the near certainty that the war in Ukraine will continue, the Ukrainian Congress Committee of America has scheduled a rally against Russian aggression and in support of Ukraine to be held Thursday, March 5, near the White House. The rally begins at 1 p.m.
The next likely target of Russian forces is Mariupol, a city that stands in the path of establishing Russia’s highly coveted corridor to Crimea. Russia has already deployed thousands of troops, with the support of heavy artillery and armor. Credible sources in the Mariupol sector report that “there is no evidence of a real withdrawal of heavy weaponry by pro-Russian forces along that front.”
Mariupol, however, is strongly defended. Russia may still opt to bypass the city and launch an armored attack southwest of Debaltseve.
