Ahhh I got it now!
I'm looking at a map.
Last yearif I recall correctly. I believe the Russians deployed 30,000 troops to Belarus, now we have 25,000 more Russian troops redeployed there under some bullshit political diversion.
The Ukrainians believe that there is only about 1500 Russian troops there, I guess we will see.
The Belorussian border is close to Keyv.
And Keyv is also accessable by water from Belarus with the Dnieper.
I expect that Belorussian troops may join in too!Either as volunteers or as allies.
All of the fighting in the south, is a diversion!
The Russians will hold the Ukrainians by the nose in the south while the Russians in belarus will kick them in the ass!.
The main attack will be coming soon from the Russians in Belarus, about 55,000 strong! .and soon I would suspect before the Ukrainians can redeploy thier forces to meet this threat!
And even if I am wrong about the numbers 25,000 murderous thugs ravaging that part of Ukraine will require a response, diverting forces needed elsewhere!
If successful the leadership in Keyv will have to flee and the war will be over!
The Russians always were chess players, I just hope the Ukrainians are as good!
