Do the Russians have any forces available which are not engaged elsewhere? It doesn’t look like they do.

His report says that they are moving from military bases within Russia to the area.

So..it will take a couple days. Meanwhile, if you take a look at the map of the area. The forces in that area are from the break away regions and have withdrawn over that river to set up defensive lines.

If Ukraine does not bolster its flanks, those forces will get chewed to hell.

I am waiting to see if the Russians start a scorched earth campaign there.

BTW - we're just running up on 72 hours since the first Kharkov incursion story appeared on Free Republic.

The FR neocon chickenhawks already have Vlad in chains in the docket at Brussels.
