| Mar 8, 2022 at 23:02 | comment | added | Italian Philosopher | @convert Hey, guys, let's not get carried away by JonathanReez's point about the scope of the invasion. Even an Eastern Ukraine only victory is a straight out loss for Ukraine. And on the flip side, I don't see them having enough troops to do much more than what they're already failing at doing well, so no need to go hyperbolic on Moldova. None of which have much to do with this answer and question. | |
| Mar 8, 2022 at 22:54 | comment | added | Hvjurthuk | @convert We know nothing for sure but I suspect that if Putin tries to get full Ukraine and he penetrates into Moldova, then he will also bet for full Moldova. Other option is that he just connects Donbass, Crimea and follows the coast of the Black sea landlocking Ukraine (but not taking it all) and then he would just need to set a step further to connect to Transnistria and claim it also. In short, either he goes full Ukraine and enters full Moldova or he just goes for strategic assets in Donbass, Crimea, Black sea and Transnistria. At the end it will depend on how ambitious he is overall. | |
| Mar 8, 2022 at 22:49 | comment | added | convert | @Hvjurthuk What you mean by Moldova? The whole country, or just Transdnistria? | |
| Mar 8, 2022 at 22:46 | comment | added | Hvjurthuk | @convert So far... There might be two waves and we are maybe just at the beginning of the first. The truth is that we do not know where Putin puts the stop. It might still very well go beyond Ukraine and continue towards Moldova, where he finally and clearly finds a more unpleasant NATO border beyond. | |

| Mar 8, 2022 at 21:48 | comment | added | convert | @JonathanReez As you can see on the curent fighting map, Russia is not even going for a single western region of Ukraine. | |
| Mar 8, 2022 at 21:03 | comment | added | JonathanReez | I'd note that "victory" for Russia will likely be limited to Eastern Ukraine. Its very unlikely they could capture the Western parts. | |

| Mar 8, 2022 at 20:40 | comment | added | Italian Philosopher | Sanctions? Yes, relief would be part of it. But, no, it should only be those territories not under actual Ukrainian control as of January 2022. That's already a lot. | |
| Mar 8, 2022 at 20:38 | comment | added | NoDataDumpNoContribution | Sounds all very sensible to me. What probably would need to be included is that Russia would demand an immediate end to all sanctions. And they also might demand more land than just Crimea, Donetzk and Luhansk. | |
