Russia is quite content to divide Ukraine. It would rather keep it under its thumb but barring that it takes the spoils in NovoRossiya.
The West can figure out how to prop up a bankrupt Kiev and Lvov.
And with winter fast approaching, the real fun is just beginning.
“with winter fast approaching, the real fun is just beginning.”
That is the real key to all of this, isn’t it?
The Kiev government is already shutting off the power in the rural areas for some hours everyday to save gas. They are just weeks away from the cold weather beginning, and the rainy season.
They HAVE to make sizable gains now, or face another Maidan, this time with guns, as the people start starving and freezing this winter.
