The advancing force includes 1,300 battle tanks, 3,700 drones, 1,300 artillery and mortar units and 380 multiple launch rocket systems, according to documents leaked to the Daily Mirror.

Tensions between the countries have been escalating following Russia’s annexation of Ukraine’s Crimea territory in 2014, an attempt by Moscow to keep NATO away from its borders. Ukraine is not a member of NATO, but support for the organization has risen in recent years, and the country is allied with many NATO nations — including the U.S.

Ukraine should offer to give Chernobyl back to the Russians and call it even.

“Likely that timing will be concurrent with a Communist Chinese invasion of Taiwan”

The timing is very interesting. Biden can sent his Antifa, BLM, brainwash kids off to fight for him.

Looks like a 'GO'.
Would be very costly to keep that many troops and equipment there just for show.

Except for the addition of drones, the number of troops and hardware are similar to the Russian army groups of WWII. This is not an insignificant force.

CNN shows Ukrainian Train with military equipment headed to border. Tells viewers it is Russian military. Ukrainian Emblem on passenger train in background.

Amusing that in the video or article no one writes or says “Invasion stripes.”

It’s somewhat of an obscure saying, that the average American isn’t going understand.

Is your friend in the takeover versus non takeover part of Ukraine in the map above? Are they worried Russia will win or, if Russia wins, it will destabilize the remaining part of Ukraine. Are the people in that area primarily Russian or Ukraine?

I don’t know which side is the good guys and it is really hard to obtain fair information from the MSM. They would support whatever side Biden was on at that minute. Thanks.

Tank battles around Kiev. There’s something that’s never been done. /sarcasm

See #4, sub-map. “Kursk” seems to ring a bell.
