According to UK intelligence, 97% of Russiaβs army is currently in #Ukraine. Thatβs unreal. Itβs also a huge testament to the brilliance of #VolodymyrZelenskyy, the continuing commitment of allied nations, and the courage and tenacity of the Ukrainian people. It also suggests that, if someone wanted to attack Russia, this might be an opportune time to do itβ¦

Opinion:
I am no expert on warfare, but I do keep track of what has happened in the last year, in the invasion of Ukraine. I am not too worried about a coming so called massive Russian offensive. Two reasons, logistics, and whether.
1. The Russians have not shown any significant learning curve in getting logistics done. This remains their main shortfall.
2. The rainy season is about to start. And northeast Ukraine will become a mud bath. Historically mud favors defenders.
