Wherever Moscow decides.
To the victor...
“Wherever Moscow decides.”
CLEARLY the end-game now, and I suspect the partition will be mostly well west of the Dnieper, pretty much down the middle of what was Ukraine.
On Russia’s side (the east side) will be Odessa (Putin’s now made that clear) and Kharkiv, and they will link-up with Transnistria (and, of course, the 5 regions that are already part of Russia), with a big DMZ in the middle.
On the West side, which Russia doesn’t even want, it will be Poland, Hungary, Romania fighting it out with NATO for their piece of the country.
With Adviika about to liberated, we’ll soon be seeing something like the Race to Berlin at the end of WW2, and the Russians will be moving west much faster (regardless of what that Trudeau junkie claims), so as to achieve their objective before they have to directly fight western troops.
Anyway, that’s my take on the end-game, but who knows...everyone has been wrong on just about everything, although people like MacGregor, Berletic, and Ritter have been right, so far, regarding more recent events, including the Ukrainian collapse.
Moscow would have to win first. You've been declaring victory since February 2022, tankie.
