Russian military convoy near Kyiv is more than 40 miles long, according to satellite

Dramatic satellite images released by Maxar Technologies on Monday evening showed a massive 40+ mile long convoy of Russian military vehicles snaking along roadways northwest of Kyiv.

It’s easy to trace where those hundreds of tanks, towed artillery, armored and logistical vehicles came from. Just follow the roads.

In Ukraine, northwest of Kyiv, all roads lead to Belarus. The roadway and bridge at Chernobyl — the town, not the failed nuclear reactor — ends in Belarus. Every other major road northwest of the Ukrainian capital, Kyiv, ends in Belarus, which borders northern Ukraine.
 
Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Mark Milley took part in a virtual meeting of NATO's Military Committee in Chiefs of Defence on Monday amid the Russian invasion of Ukraine, a readout from Joint Staff spokesperson Col. Dave Butler said.

The leaders discussed "Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, which is undermining global security," the readout said. "The United States’ commitment to defending NATO territory is ironclad and the United States will continue to bolster our posture to better defend our NATO Allies."

The US has sent additional troops and military assets to NATO countries in the past few weeks as the situation in Ukraine has worsened.

The Secretary of Defense ordered the deployment of 7,000 US service members to Europe on Feb. 25, a senior defense official told reporters.

Putin can easily capture every square inch but he cannot occupy Ukraine with any degree of control, ever

imagine trying to keep a 200,000k man army stationed across a country the size of TX, and it's chock full of big pissed off Ukrainian dudes toting guns

Vlad lost this for sure

He fucked up the whole operation waaay before it ever began......if he would've launched the invasion in 2019 or 2020 Trump would have left the Ukrainians to swing in the wind, act like he had no idea Vlad could be this mean. it was all right there for the taking, I've been giving Vlad way too much credit, he's an amateur

It's far from rocket science

Putin in a Russian ultranationalist who has wanted to reconstitute the core areas of the imperial Russian empire, including Belarus, Ukraine, Kazakhstan, possibly the Baltic states.

Vlad would dearly loved to have captured Kyiv because of it's symbolic value to Russian civilization and history.

Biden & Co. knew since at least December Putin was preparing to invade, and warned you of it. Your surprise at the invasion was due to the fact you did not heed Biden's warnings.

There is no mystery to Putin's military strategy. The only surprise is that it exposed the Russian military as second rate and not even close to being a peer of NATO armed forces.
