Russia has deployed an estimated 100,000-125,000 troops - around 75% of Russia’s total ground combat power – to Ukraine’s eastern borders. President Putin has issued demands and threats to Ukraine and NATO, has launched swathing cyber attacks against Ukraine, and has increased the rhetoric aimed at his domestic audience. All the signs are that the Kremlin is poised to strike, but will they and, if so, at what and why?
Very good and detailed analysis. I had thought that Putin would attempt to seize Kyiv quickly, set up a puppet government and, with the Ukrainians demoralised, then mop up the rest of the country. This on the ground that he's going to face moral opprobrium anyway for the invasion, so he might as well grab the lot.
But your analysis that he's more likely to only seize parts of it makes sense.
What a huge piece of lie. This is nothing but the stinking Biden’s propaganda.
Note, here was no mansion that Obama Administration had organised Midan, displaced the legitimate Ukrainian Government and occupied Ukraine in 2013, cosing Luhansk and Donetzk to live the Union by its peoples will.
You want the media to stop being political and honestly report news? You must be joking.

The people in Crimea voted to go with Russia in a referendum. That is a fact.
