From the east, soldiers from 2 different points will pass through the separatist regions and advance inland. The aim of the operation, which will be supported by the Russian soldiers stationed in the occupied Crimea, will be to capture the city of Dnipro.
In the second stage, it will advance from Dnipro to the city of Vinnitsya, 130 kilometers from Moldova, and from Crimea to the strategically important Black Sea port city of Odessa.
However, it was stated in the posts that President Vladimir Putin “could choose to avoid conflict and keep the peace”.
More than 100 thousand Russian soldiers in Belarus and occupied Crimea, as well as the Ukraine-Russia border, and Russian warships in the Black Sea are causing concern.
MOSCOW CLAIMS NO PLANS TO Occupy UKRAINE
While NATO countries warn Russia of a possible invasion, Moscow claims it has no plans to invade Ukraine.
Russia, which wants security guarantees, demands that Ukraine not be included in NATO, while most alliance member countries are giving military support to Kiev, stating that “open door” policies will continue. (AA)
