More from Andriy Yermak to @thecipherbrief #ThreatCon2022. “The Russians have been preparing missile strikes on the Ukrainian capital and the infrastructure for a long time. There is no practical military sense in those large scales acts of the terrorism.”
Yermak: The Russian “calculation is two fold. The first part is to make living conditions too harsh to survive in winter. To provoke another wave of migration and depopulate Ukraine. The second part of the plan is to psychological break Ukrainians to make us wish the war ended.”
Yermak Re suggestions of negotiating with Russians: “let me put it clear. If we did, Russia would not stop. It would go to the way of aggression further, step by step, no matter what great deals you strike.” MORE
Yermak to @thecipherbrief #threatcon2022 Re suggestions to negotiate with Russia: “It's unacceptable. Saving Putin face is this wrong way, but it's a shortcut to the next war. Russia should be recognized. What it's really is a state sponsor of terrorism.”

Fox News has learned Putin has in place 70 percent of the military forces he would need for a full invasion. The number of Russian battalion tactical groups (BTG) on the border has increased to 83 up from 60 battalions just two weeks ago. 14 more are in transit.
30,000 Russian troops are in Belarus - a 50 mile drive to Kiev from the Belarus border. Those tanks and vehicles would likely move through Chernobyl en route to Kiev – a quick drive.
The ground is expected to be at peak freeze on February 15.
The expected casualty toll from a full Russian invasion, according to experts, an estimated 5 to 25,000 Ukrainian troops killed or wounded, 4000 Russian troops killed and an estimated 25 - 50,000 civilian casualties - along with 1 to 5 million refugees and IDPs into Europe.
