Some Eye-Opening Remarks From U.S. Director of National Intelligence James Clapper

Wall Street Journal: U.S. Intelligence Officials Say Global Threats Persist From Russia, Terrorists

At annual Senate Armed Services Committee hearing, National Intelligence Director James Clapper predicts Russian advances in Ukraine

WASHINGTON—The top U.S. intelligence official told a Senate panel Thursday that Russian-backed separatists would probably continue their advance through Ukraine this spring and that he favors providing lethal arms to help defend the area.

U.S. Director of National Intelligence James Clapper predicted the Russian-backed separatists would move from eastern Ukraine into Mariupol, a strategic area on the Sea of Azov. He said that arming Ukrainian forces to prevent further advances would probably provoke Russian President Vladimir Putin , but it is unclear how he would respond.
