        they’re getting ready for a huge offensive, and push to kyiv. january. third week. obvious choice for time frame.

        that’s why djt told putin not to ‘escalate’… he was really just reminding him “not yet”.

          50000 would not be near enough to push to Sumy, let alone Kiev. But they want to make sure they retake Kursk before the conflict is frozen.

            It would be quite embarrassing to cede Russian territory in a special 3 day military operation that lasted years.

          Lmao what? There won’t be a push for Kyiv anytime soon. And not from Kursk on the other side of the country. Even the worst scenarios don’t include Kyiv getting captured at this point.
