Putin Eyes 300,000-Troop Push Toward Kyiv and Chernihiv as He Presses Eastern Ukraine

1 articles · Updated · Ukrinform · Aug 23

300,000 newly mobilized Russian troops could be redirected toward Kyiv and Chernihiv if Moscow gains ground in eastern Ukraine, President Volodymyr Zelensky said.
Putin’s immediate battlefield goal still centers on Kostiantynivka and Sloviansk, with orders to his generals to occupy all of Donetsk and Luhansk regions by year-end, according to Zelensky.
Bryansk region currently has no Russian troops deployed, Zelensky said, though Ukrainian forces have spotted military equipment along the border and are monitoring the area.
Zelensky said any northern offensive could be framed as creating a Russian “buffer zone,” reviving concerns that Moscow may reopen a threat axis toward Kyiv after eastern operations.
