MOSCOW - Russia on Thursday announced sweeping naval drills in several parts of the world this month, and claimed the West is plotting "provocations" in neighbouring Ukraine where the Kremlin has been accused of planning aggressive military action. Amid a buildup of an estimated 100,000 Russian troops near the border with Ukraine and massive joint war games with Belarus, the Defense Ministry said it will also conduct maneuvers involving the bulk of Russia's naval potential. "The drills are intended to practice navy and air force action to protect Russian national interests in the world's oceans and to counter military threats to the Russian Federation," the ministry said, adding that they will start this month and run through February. It said the exercise will involve over 140 warships and more than 60 aircraft, and will be conducted in both littoral waters and more distant "operationally important" areas including the Mediterranean, northeastern Atlantic and the Pacific Ocean. The ministry said several Russian warships are currently taking part in a joint exercise with China and Iran in the Gulf of Oman that began Tuesday and will last until the weekend. U.S. President Joe Biden said Wednesday he thinks Russia will invade Ukraine and warned President Vladimir Putin that his country would pay a "dear price" in lives lost and a possible cutoff from the global banking system if it does. Moscow has repeatedly denied having plans to launch an offensive. But it has sought a set of security guarantees from the West that would exclude NATO's expansion to Ukraine and other ex-Soviet nations and the deployment of alliance weapons there. Washington and its allies firmly rejected Moscow's demands in security talks last week but kept the door open to possible further talks on arms control and confidence-building measures to reduce the potential for hostilities. Amid the tensions, U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken visited Ukraine Wednesday to reassure it of Western support and met with his British, French and German counterparts in Berlin on Thursday to discuss Ukraine and other security matters. Blinken is set to meet Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov in Geneva on Friday. Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova alleged that Ukrainian and Western claims of an imminent Russian attack on Ukraine were a "cover for staging large-scale provocations of their own, including those of military character." "They may have extremely tragic consequences for the regional and global security," Zakharova said. She pointed to the delivery of weapons to Ukraine by British military transport planes in recent days, claiming that Ukraine perceives Western military assistance as a "carte blanche for a military operation in Donbas." Donbas, located in eastern Ukraine, is under control of Russia-backed separatists who have fought Ukrainian forces for nearly eight years, a conflict that has killed more than 14,000 people. Ukraine said earlier this week that it has taken the delivery of anti-tank missiles from the U.K. It has rejected Moscow's claims that it plans an offensive to reclaim control of separatist-held areas in the country's eastern industrial heartland. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said the U.S. threat to cut off Russia from the global banking system could encourage hawkish forces in Ukraine to use force to reclaim control of the rebel east. "It may implant false hopes in the hotheads of some representatives of the Ukrainian leadership who may decide to quietly restart a civil war in their country," Peskov said in a conference call with reporters. In a move that further beefs up forces near Ukraine, Russia has sent an unspecified number of troops from its far east to its ally Belarus, which shares a border with Ukraine, for major war games that run through Feb. 20. Ukrainian officials have said Moscow could use Belarusian territory to launch a potential multi-pronged invasion. The head of the European Union's executive arm, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen reiterated Thursday that the EU "will respond with massive economic and financial sanctions" if Russia invades Ukraine. "We hope an attack won't happen, but if it does, we are prepared," von der Leyen said during an online speech to the Davos business forum.

Rumble / Dogs & Puppies — We all know that dogs like the simple pleasures in life. All they need to be happy is a bowl of kibble, the walks down the street, those frequent trips to the dog park and of course, their favorite toys! Just like kids, dogs have their own favorite toys and they all differ. Some like a ball, other a good leather shoe. But if someone were to ask this pooch what his favorite toy was, you would be amazed at his response! There are so many types of toys on the market designed and intended for dogs precisely, but it ultimately boils down to one thing - it is the tactile stimulation that makes the most meaningful difference. If the dog likes the way the toy feels when it uses it, it will continue to ask for it. But what if it is not only one toy in question? What if we are dealing with a multitasking pooch who wants, nay - need, many many toys in the same time. Watch the video at the top of the page! This is hilarious! This dog loves tennis balls, he loves to play with them and grab them with his teeth. A local tennis instructor delivers 300 used tennis balls only to make this lovely pooch content and well-exercised. Is'n this nice? When one tennis ball falls onto the ground, the dog immediately grabs onto it, he has so much energy and excitement after seeing the ball, so funny! Then something crazy starts to happen, a few more balls start to land on the ground, and this dog can't believe it! What is going on? Where are all these balls coming from? He can't contain all this excitement! Is this what they call dog's heaven? All of a sudden, a few hundred more hit the ground all at once! It's raining tennis balls! What a sight to see, this dog has never been luckier. The things he loves most are raining down from the sky, crazy! He doesn't even care that half of them are hitting him, he is just so happy to see all of them come down. It looks like the kids want to join in on the fun too! Awesome! The dog definitely hit the Jackpot, thanks to this tennis instructor! We just imagine what would happen if dogs could browse and watch through this entire video. What would happen? Would they call their single-ball throw in the park a real exercise anymore! So, folks, when watching this make sure your four-legged pal is safely resting in the next room. Do you love to play tennis? Take a look at these tennis balls so you can start a match with your friends! Maybe you can even give some of these balls away to some dogs, they will be very happy!
