Commander of the Joint Force Ukraine Force in Donbas Alexander Pavlyuk named the alleged “date of the Russian invasion.” He said that according to one scenario, the date would be February 20.
“This date worries us,” said The Times.
Pavlyuk noted that Russian President Vladimir Putin probably did not want to. overshadow relations with China by launching hostilities during the Beijing Olympics. In addition, the Russian-Belarusian exercise “Allied Resolve – 2022” will take place during this period. Western intelligence agencies believe that the invasion will begin with a gradual transfer of forces to eastern Ukraine and the sending of “thousands of troops” by rail to this area, according to The Times.
Pavlyuk added that the task of the Ukrainian army is not to deter the Russian army, but to cause them maximum damage. The distribution of weapons for a protracted insurgent war has already begun in areas where Ukraine's regular army can be defeated, he said.
