As Russia starts the 2nd phase of its operations in UA, we have enough
information to start analyzing what its end game may be. In this
podcast, I list 5 facts and discuss 3 possible end games:
1. Minima: Donbas independence + Crimea recognized + UA neutral,
demilitarized + UA deradicalized
2. Mid: Above + Land bridge to Transnistria
3. Maxima: Above + Kharkov + Dnipro + UA can join EU + Poland may annex
WUA
I suggest that Russia may take it slow but eventually reach No.3. There
won't be a negotiated political solution, but there'll be a ceasefire.
I'll revisit this topic in 1 month if the conflict continues then (it
most likely will).
