This might be a little tougher than Putin thought...

hopefully Ukraine's reserves are getting trained up.
I still think Poland may get involved if Ukraine needs them. Realize that would expand the war but the sooner Russia is removed from Ukraine, the sooner the West can start buying their gas again
I believe the original force structure was somewhere around 50 percent of Ukraine's forces were in the Donbas region at the start of the war. That is where there already was shooting. The southern. area near Crimea, and the region around Kiev split the rest. The smaller forces in those two regions did epic work in holding off the Russians. I suspect Ukraine still has considerable forces near Kiev. It is integral to their goal of returning some normalcy to their citizenry and economy. Maybe the Russians are staging some forces, but I suspect they are mostly going to be air assets. They made a giant mistake in spreading out their ground forces during the initial invasion.
I will repeat something about Lukashenko. He will wind up like Ceausescu, being shot in front of a wall with his family if he invades Ukraine. He seems intent on constantly affirming Putin that he is helping, while leaving himself an out.
I think you’re correct that Lukashenko isn’t likely to get directly involved.
They can play a role simply by placing forces on the border and making it look like they’re preparing to attack. Even without doing so Ukraine has to protect against the possibility. Can’t just leave that border open….
They’d basically take whatever forces they commit out of the real fight….
May well end up being a Pyrrhic victory for Russia. (A pyrrhic victory is a victory that comes at a great cost, perhaps making the ordeal to win not worth it. It relates to Pyrrhus, a king of Epirus who defeated the Romans in 279 BCE but lost many of his troops.)Factoid

Whoopsie Daisy…straight up Wile E Coyote moment for team Putin:
Hopefully in making these gains, the Russians are punching themselves out of gas, and Ukraine cleans up in later rounds against an exhausted opponent.
And offense in the South seems to be going well-Ukraine forces are said to be close to Kherson.
This isn't good...

I really want to visit Russia someday to pee on Putin's ashes.

Help me out. I follow this more closely than most americans and I have no idea what the LNR is.*
*edited to note the are Kremlin backed separatists. If so, why do they have German and American weapons?
I'm sure it is stuff that has been captured during the back and forth on the battlefields. The LNR may not know how to use it or are that desperate for food.
Send in the fleet now!
Probably a good idea just in case...
