I have this expectation btw,That's what I think too, which is why I believe the Eastern Invasion is the more likely path. They'll most definitely stop at the river, with the exceptions of those heading for Kyiv. Seizing all of Ukraine would require a very large force to control the population plus to guard the borders with NATO countries.
Another risky path would be if they advanced on Kyiv much far west from South-West Belarus instead of the South East. But it does have its advantages in that they will be able to bypass both the Pripet marshes and the Chernobyl area.
What's the talk in russia about all this.at first I thought this was just NATO showing its casual terror but this is now getting serious.British Ambassador to Ukraine will tell you what Ukrainian politicians need to do.
This is absolutely not going to happen. Russia is not even going to care about Western Ukraine, I don't think, leave alone progressing towards the rest of Europe.If the war would explode from Ukraine to central European countries, Europe will very fast become the epicentre of a Russian blitzkrieg.
There will be nothing serious unless Ukrainian troops start attacking Donbass. Otherwise, all this lies in the Western media in Russia have already become accustomed to.What's the talk in russia about all this.at first I thought this was just NATO showing its casual terror but this is now getting serious.
Donbass is in Ukraine right?There will be nothing serious unless Ukrainian troops start attacking Donbass. Otherwise, all this lies in the Western media in Russia have already become accustomed to.
They are an okayish but against russia a big no.even certain simulations showed them to be roles up pretty quicklyWait, I was underestimating the Ukrainian military.
It is in fact huge, especially army is pretty well equipped and has 700+ usable tanks (T-80 + T-72), 1000+ obsolete tanks in reserve (T-64s), 3000+ APCs, complimented with a huge amount of artillery, 800+ SPH, 900+ tube artillery, as well as a pretty good collection of short-range SAMs.
Their weak links are Airforce, having some 70ish Mig-29s + Su-27s, which can still work as point-defense fighters.
Even without the help of NATO, Ukraine can fend itself pretty well. In fact, Russia has no chance of making any significant gain if it does not commit 100% of its armed forces.
@Akim am I correct? Sorry if the data is wrong, I just picked it up from Wikipedia.
Russia thinks otherwise.Donbass is in Ukraine right?
"According to the documents" so far yes, in fact - no.Donbass is in Ukraine right?
If Russia deploys like, 100% of its ground forces, then probably yes. Russia can use its air force to batter down Ukrainian but NATO will probably help them with air denial.They are an okayish but against russia a big no.even certain simulations showed them to be roles up pretty quickly
Didn't believe in the nato version of the events but even after a month the after the troops are still there.russians may be using pressure tactics to get things what they want from NATO?If Russia deploys like, 100% of its ground forces, then probably yes. Russia can use its air force to batter down Ukrainian but NATO will probably help them with air denial.
Pretty quickly, no, at least 1 month of intense offensive minimum.
How much is Russia willing to commit to capturing Ukraine with its declining economy? The attacker is always at a disadvantage when the enemy has dug in, like in the case of Ukraine.
When something is beneficial to the West, it "can not see".Russia thinks otherwise.
I would advise her to believe the Russian respondent. Apart from Moscow, no one sees the concentration of Ukrainian troops in the Donbass.
T-64 is better than T-72. He is our main tank.Wait, I was underestimating the Ukrainian military.

Raw numbers like always provide a very different picture. To have a tank is one thing but to have a operational tank is a completely different thing.Wait, I was underestimating the Ukrainian military.

Ukraineis ready for russian armoured thrusts i guessThe army - 250 thousand, in the Donbass - 40 thousand, by the rotation method for six months.
All tanks are combat ready and 60% modernized. Units that have ATGMs have been updated by 85%.
Ukraine will only and only see peace when the comedian Zelensky is removed from power. He is the one who is responsible for the current mess.i normally side with Russia , Russians always seem more reasonable and pragmatic .
but on this i rather see Ukraine come out on top.
maybe Putin has valid reasons , what with US trying to ruin it and etc etc . but still , big guy goliath vs david and all that.
hopefully all this is a ruse , Putin will scare some sense into retard democrats , US-Russia can become bhai bhai ... , its only outcome that will be beneficial to India.
And maybe Ukraine will accept crimea loss , obviously unfair but what choice is there ? , i mean not really same thing on any level but it took India only 20 years to get over aksai chin loss to china .
