#Russia_War: The Russian aggression is now focused on encircling Mariupol (they want to finish on March 1). If this city port falls, then the Russian army can cut off the Ukrainian government from the Azov sea and create a land corridor from Donbas to the Crimean peninsula. As ⤵️
I previously remarked the Russian invasion has at least two goals: 1) to make Kyiv capitulate (and accept neutrality), and 2) while the attention of the Ukrainian forces is channelled on defending Kyiv and Kharkiv to occupy the southern regions. ⤵️
The second goal envisions to take control over the remaining territories in Donetsk, then extend to Zaporozhya and Kherson to reach Crimea. Earlier, I posted that some parts of Odessa are also under airstrikes. ⤵️
However, the Ukrainian resistance against the Russian invasion is strong and the sanctions start to have their effects!
