so apparently the news is saying that Ukraine expects Russia to invade from the north from Belarus at the end of February which would be a spectacularly Russia move to make if they attack at the exact same place as last time at the same muddy season exactly when Ukraine expects them to.

Well Ukraine hasn't exactly been on the ball in all respects when it comes to things that they expect the Russians to do. The Russians were able to completely evacuate Kherson with no casualties or difficulty largely because Ukraine believed that they were going to fight it out and was holding back their forces rather than press forward and attempt to harass the departing Russians. Even after Russia announced it had abandoned the city Ukraine moved forward cautiously because they claimed that they had intelligence that the Russian army was still in Kherson disguised as civilians and were going to ambush them. So maybe take everything Ukraine says with a massive grain of salt.

Also, it is clear Russians are amassing in Belarus, but everyone and their dog is guessing where and when they are going to go south. Supposedly, there were further strikes and Kharkov city got hit pretty hard.

Lviv is quite far from Belarus and any attack that far West would be completely unsupported

Going all the way to Lviv is probably a bit much. But Volyn is at least enough of a possibility that Ukrainians are building defensive positions there.

if the russians were able to credibly threaten lviv they would have to take over like 2/3 of ukraine and would basically have won the war already

Admittedly, it may be useful to strike out that far if just to divide the attention of Ukrainian forces. The general issue for the Ukrainians it is just such a long frontier (all the way to the frontline in Luhansk) that they really can't man all of it and hold on to the Donbass at the same time. In addition, the Ukrainians need to keep substantial forces around Kiev just because it is the capital. Otherwise, it is really a guessing game exactly how the Russians are going to strike, I would assume they are also trying to spoof satellites with decoys etc.

i say swears online posted:yeah this From what I read the western military strategists are concerned about a Russian push to divide Ukraine west of Kyiv but east of Lviv. You would pust almost directly south from Minsk and go through Zhytomyr and Vinnystia towards the border with Moldovia. I guess the idea would be to cut the support lines for the majority of Ukraine, where they get basically all of their supplies for their armies through eastern Poland. This sort of attack would strangle the country if successful and if the division of the country was maintained for a lengthy period of time. The thing is that I can't really see this kind of unsupported attack (where you would potentially create a corridor surrounded on both sides by Ukrainians) succeeding unless the Ukrainian army is already effectively defeated prior to it kicking off. It seems too outrageous to even try, although I guess it's not that much different in principle than the convoy to Kyiv that eventually withdrew in more or less good order after realizing the city wasn't going to collapse. trying to capture Kyiv again seems equally pointless and those armies in Belarus are building up for something or other so maybe we get to see.

My current guess is they are there the force Kiev to divert forces because they can't let it open but it also mean Russia has force they can rotate in and out of combat as they are already mobilized and equipped.

i say swears online posted:right, it's just as much of a suicide mission as the initial invasion that wiped out their special forces at the rail depots and airports just west of kiev Russia was already in pink “no go” zones and really not much happened. Arguably, much of central Ukraine is just more divided than anything. It is clear that far-Western Ukraine is rather different. Also, the air assault is really over blown and it is clear the VDV held their position despite losses and were then relieved by naval infantry. It is a myth that has been dispelled even by West Point commentators. Putting everything in Lvov would be ridiculous, but that doesn’t mean a diversionary attack won’t happen out there. Also, it would probably make more sense to focus on isolating Kiev from the West than try to bisect the entire country and rather just pressure Ukrainian supply lines while spreading out their forces elsewhere.
