Russia reviving the Taurida Governorate with captured Kherson - Zaporizhzhia region

Major clue about Russian intentions: they are issuing official “Tuarida Governate” license plates in the captured Kherson - Zaporizhzhia region just north of Crimea. Tuarida was a “governate” in the old Russian empire. It runs to the south bank of the Dnepr in the west, and to Donetsk Oblast in the east. I don’t think they’d be issuing the Russian version of state license plates if they planned on leaving. Still in question are their plans to capture Odessa and entirely cut Ukraine off from Black Sea access. At any rate, it sure looks like they plan to incorporate Luhansk, Donetsk, “Tuarida” and Crimea into Russia. At the very least.

Defense Politics Asia, a truly outstanding Singapore-based blogger, has a fascinating video on this today.
