As the War in Ukraine approaches the one-year anniversary on February 24, it appears Russian President Valdimir Putin is preparing a massive assault to take Ukraine. Reports indicate as many as 500,000 Troops are being readied for the assault. If this happens it will come as a shock to many people in the United States, who have assumed Ukraine has won and Putin is defeated. People forget how many casualties Russia has absorbed in previous wars – millions in World War II. It does not appear they are ready to give up and accept defeat in Ukraine.
VLADIMIR Putin is feared to be preparing for a new onslaught on Ukraine with up to 500,000 soldiers.
Russia is believed to be plotting an attack across two new fronts – pushing into eastern and southern Ukraine.
Kyiv believe Mad Vlad’s attack may happen around February 24 – the one year anniversary of the invasion.
Putin is desperate to achieve something after a bruising first year which has seen his forces thrown back.
Ukraine however fear the next few weeks will be crucial for the conflict as they continue to call for weapons from the West.
Defence minister Oleksii Reznikov believes Putin is gathering up to 500,00 soldiers for the new offensive.
And it comes as Putin’s top diplomat Sergei Lavrov said Russia was ready to “gain the world’s attention”.
He didn’t provide any further details.
It is understood there are around 326,000 Russian troops currently on operation in Ukraine.
And it’s been reported between 150,000 and 200,000 are in camps on training exercises, with Ukraine also warning Putin could call up another 500,000 conscripts. . . .
