Summary/Abstract: The war is ready to emerge in Ukraine. We have the full information coming from the Western officials, specially the American ones, pronounced by State Secretary Anthony Blinken in the Security Council or by the President in front of the European leaders. America has chosen to use all the instruments for deterring Russia to move to war and has even sacrifice valuable intelligence in order to show that every move is well known. So that it wasn’t a surprise that Friday, on 18 February, we had the announcement that Putin decided the invasion and Sunday evening that orders of action have been delivered to the Russian units, once the Belarus Russia huge snap exercise has been prolonged due to evolutions in Donbas. It is interesting to see that the information war has begun as well as the war for narratives, credibility, legitimacy, hearts and minds of the worldʼs citizens.
