My assumption going into this was that Russia's goal was to carve out an eastern Ukrainian state, Belorus-style. Now...I'm leaning more towards complete invasion followed by a puppet government.

Quote Russia's military buildup near Ukraine has expanded to include supplies of blood along with other medical materials that would allow it to treat casualties, in yet another key indicator of Moscow's military readiness, three U.S. officials tell Reuters. Current and former U.S. officials say concrete indicators -- like blood supplies -- are critical in determining whether Moscow would be prepared to carry out an invasion, if Russian President Vladimir Putin decided to do so.

Commissar SFLUFAN Posted February 1, 2022 Share Posted February 1, 2022 Popular Final Fantasy 14 streamer prepares to flee Ukraine over threat of Russian invasion | PC Gamer WWW.PCGAMER.COM Zepla says she'll keep streaming all the way. Quote One of Final Fantasy 14's most prominent streamers has spoken about her plans to flee Ukraine in the wake of a potential invasion from Russia. Zepla originally hails from Louisiana in the United States but has been living in Ukraine for around eight years, currently residing in Kyiv. She's been streaming all things Final Fantasy 14 for the past five years, garnering 300,000 subscribers on her main YouTube channel and 200,000 followers on Twitch. She's a wonderfully wholesome content creator, usually providing tips for newer players or gushing about her love for Viera, one of the game's playable races. But the end of January saw her tackle a more serious topic—the impending danger for those living in Kyiv, and the fact she would likely need to leave very soon. "There may come a day soon where I may need to reach out to the community for help," she addressed her viewers during one of her regular streams. She went into details about the increasing number of Russian troops along the Ukrainian border, and the increasing tensions between the two countries.

Commissar SFLUFAN Posted February 2, 2022 Share Posted February 2, 2022 Ukraine crisis: Biden to deploy more US troops to eastern Europe | US military | The Guardian WWW.THEGUARDIAN.COM More than 3,000 troops headed to Germany, Poland and Romania after talks between Washington and Moscow failed to ease tensions Quote Joe Biden will deploy more than 3,000 US troops in Germany, Poland, and Romania, as Russia continues to build up its forces around Ukraine, and after talks between Washington and Moscow failed to bring any breakthrough or easing of tensions. The US is sending 1,700 troops from the 82nd Airborne division to Poland, a headquarters unit of about 300 from the 18th Airborne Corps will move to Germany, and a 1,000-strong army armoured unit is being transferred from Germany to Romania.

Russia has missile ships in the Black Sea already--they're based there. And they don't need to launch a marine landing anywhere. And the distance from the Eastern Med to Kyiv is about 2,000 km--which is within the range of Russia's land attack cruise missiles. It wouldn't mean much!

It wouldn't mean much! Yeah you're probably right. Playing around in Google Maps, Kiev is less than 1000 km from Kaliningrad too, and I'm assuming Russia has naval forces with the ability to strike into Ukraine located there.

It doesn't matter that much because they have SRBMs in Belarus. They don't really need much more outside of troops to man all these tanks.

Commissar SFLUFAN Posted February 8, 2022 Share Posted February 8, 2022 MON DIEU! SACRE BLEU! I AM TOTALLY SHOCKED AT THIS TURN OF EVENTS! Talks between Macron and Putin fail to produce Ukraine breakthrough | Ukraine | The Guardian WWW.THEGUARDIAN.COM French president says both sides need to work quickly after five-hour session at the Kremlin Quote Emmanuel Macron and Vladimir Putin did not appear to reach a breakthrough in marathon talks at the Kremlin on Monday evening aimed at fending off a Russian attack on Ukraine. After five hours of negotiations, Macron warned that the two sides needed to work quickly to avoid the risk of an escalation. “Right now the tension is increasing and the risk of destabilisation is increasing,” Macron said, according to a simultaneous translation of his remarks following the talks. “Neither Russia, nor the Europeans want chaos or instability, when nations have already suffered from the [coronavirus] epidemic. So we need to agree on concrete measures.” Quote There were some signs of progress from the talks, which were held over a seven-course dinner that included rebo and chardonnay from a Russian winery OLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLO - they TOTALLY DIDN'T discuss a goddamned thing about Ukraine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Commissar SFLUFAN Posted February 11, 2022 Share Posted February 11, 2022 I still really don't believe the incursion will have the objective of seizing/occupying Kyiv. It'll be focused on the complete and total Russian military occupation of the eastern provinces, but significant forces will be kept in their staging areas to keep the pressure on the Ukrainian government with the threat of an advance to Kyiv.
