  1. they are going in tomorrow, straight for Kiev and hope to capture it by May 9th. as most of Ukraine troops battle in the East and South, they hope thisblitzkrieg will fulfill the objective that the first one did not. Supply line readyness is goal and with aircraft and artillery cover right before the front, they think they have the advantage also Russia plans on supporting them with that and 70,000 troops.

  2. Putin has quite simply gone mad.
    It's a horrible situation for everyone involved. There's no winning in war. He's screwed his Russian citizens and he blames everyone but himself which breaks my heart for them as it was him and Alexander who planned/started this war just over 2 months ago but Russian's/Belarusian's will never know that. I couldn't imagine what it's like to be lied to everyday for years.

  3. Ok Belarus come on, after we will free ur people from your stupid regime, then we will take your country, we don't want these type of nonsense to repeat themselves. You don't want peace then die without one.

  4. If Belarus dares to join this invasion, she should be forewarned that after Ukraine victory, she and her people would pay a very heavy price for such aggression.

  10. I think Belarus doesn't understand if they attack Ukraine, NATO/US wont give them the same courtesy the Russian forces are currently getting. We will quickly mobilize a no fly zone and destroy their entire country in days lol.
