Russian Troop Movements in Ukraine, and What They Mean for the War
What Russian troops movements in Ukraine mean for the war now, and why Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskyy believes right now is a "turning point" for Ukraine's defenses. CBS News national security correspondent David Martin joins "Red and Blue" from the Pentagon.
Why do you say the battle of Kyiv was/is more important than the battle on Mariupol and the control of the Donbas? Looks to me that the control of the east of Ukraine is a highly desirable outcome for Russia: Land bridge to Crimea, lots of nature resources, and access to the Azov and Black seas are obvious advantages.
Belarusian troops have been tasked with doing a lot of the "refitting," and it's demoralizing them. Both because it,s such a menial job, and because of all the blood and body parts they have to clean up. And now with this big "regrouping," they might just reach their breaking point.
It appears that Russia’s main goal now is to consolidate its land gains in the east, and conquer land to create a “land bridge” on the southern border stretching as far west as Odesa. It will resume its siege of Kyiv for political pressure. If Russia were to apply an additional 135k troops to those efforts, I don’t see how the Ukrainians could prevail. Their key weakness now is a lack of reach, that is, long-range rockets. NATO has been reluctant to provide those, perhaps because NATO troops would be required to train the Ukrainians in how to use them, and NATO does not want to get involved in this conflict.
That is intense, and it keeps getting hard to swallow, and i cant imagine what people over their are going through, most not even seeing the danger coming and within seconds are submerged in chaos, i'm 43 my wife is 38 and we are retired, with over $3+ million, without debt. Currently living smart and frugal with our money, saving and investing in the crypto world made it possible for us this early and we still earn weekly, all thanks to Alexis Susan Welsh. This is to motivate you... and most importantly let you know that it would be a beautiful thing to find a way to assist them o matter how little, you may literally save a life.
