The problem though is how does Ukraine and the west explain them attacking a sovereign state who has stayed out of the war to the best of their abilities? Even if they only went after Transistria that is still a hostile attack on a sovereign nation, Russian backed separatists or not.


Thought of this too. Only thing I can think of is working with Moldova to ensure it’s return to them postwar. For Moldova they get rid of the Russians and land returned. Ukraine gets rid of the Russians on their rear flank and gains a shitload of artillery from the ammo depot there. Win/win.

CIA director on face the nation believes Putin remains confident in Russia’s ability to outlast Ukraine/the west.

Burns, in a television interview, said the head of Russia's intelligence services had displayed in their November meeting "a sense of cockiness and hubris" that reflected Putin's own beliefs "that he can make time work for him, that he believes he can grind down the Ukrainians that he can wear down our European allies, that political fatigue will eventually set in."

I wonder if this intel on the state of Russian decision making isn’t what accelerated western delivery of more robust weapons.

There has been a lot of cooperation between Ukraine and Moldova recently. If Ukraine acts at the invitation of Moldova, only Russia can complain.
