The other day Putin said that Ukraine selling its land to Poland was 'their business' ... but this has now shifted after Putin's talks with Belarus President Lukashenko.
Lukashenko notes that if Poland takes over Western Ukraine, Belarus will be half-surrounded on 3 sides - Baltics to the north, and Poland to the west and south. Luka indicates Belarus is ready to fight Poland over this, and Putin is supporting him.
But there are already Polish troops in Ukraine, 'unofficially' ... with over 1000 Polish soldiers reported killed so far, Poles reporting a new military cemetery in Poland being filled with Ukraine dead. So it will not be hard to have a pretext for war over 'Polish troops in Ukraine'.
Also, Putin has been bombing a small Ukraine port town, Reni, directly on the border with NATO country Romania - another place where things can go quickly severe, if Russia's missiles stray onto Romania,
Even Ukraine media is expressing pessimism now, over its minimal ability to replace dead soldiers. Ukraine's 'successes' recently are the showy drone attacks on Crimea and Moscow ... but on ordinary battlefields Ukrainians are dying in huge numbers, and NATO tanks are being destroyed rapidly. Russia now has vast numbers of killer drones it uses effectively.
A wider war is the way to both deflect from the Ukraine debacle and extend it
Precise numbers are hidden but we are now having estimates of more than 1 million persons killed or wounded in the Ukraine conflict. Ukraine dead perhaps over 300,000 now, Russians over 100,000, and then many more hundreds of thousands maimed or wounded.
