Russia Ukraine war, page-19671

Russian Strategy:

IMO the Russian Strategy is to take Ukraine's Eastern provinces
that border Russia + provinces to the south that adjoin Crimea
and east to the Port of Odessa.

At present Russia is over 75% there and once Russia militarily
secures these Russian border regions, Russia will likely give
The Ukraine a "Godfather Offer it cant refuse"

"Accept the deal or we'll flatten Kiev like we did Aleppo "
by cruise missiles & a sustained bomber attack.

And then follow up with a "sample"

Part of the Russian package deal will likely mean Russia
giving back the port of Odessa and territory north of the port.

All IMO only and while I would dearly like to see the Ukraine
driving out the Russians; there's a difference between probability
and wishful thinking, IMO.
