Such an attack would likely involve airstrikes, artillery and armor attacks followed by airborne assaults in the east, amphibious assaults in Odessa and Mariupul and a smaller incursion through neighboring Belarus, Ukraine Brig. Gen. Kyrylo Budanov told Military Times Saturday morning in an exclusive interview.
Russia’s large-scale Zapad 21 military exercise earlier this year proved, for instance, that they can drop upwards of 3,500 airborne and special operations troops at once, he said.
The attack Russia is preparing, said Budanov, would be far more devastating than anything before seen in the conflict that began in 2014 that has seen some 14,000 Ukrainians killed.
Speaking to the Washington Post on Friday, Ukraine’s new Defense Minister Oleksii Reznikov said it was unclear whether Russian President Vladimir Putin has yet decided to attack.
But Russia is building capacity to do so, Budanov told Military Times, increasing troop levels and weapons systems in occupied Crimea and staging systems like Iskandar short-range ballistic missile systems and other weapons elsewhere near the border. And he scoffed at suggestions that the brutal weather conditions during that time of the year would dissuade the Russians from attacking.
“It is no problem for us and the Russians,” Budanov said of fighting in the frigid weather.
Any such attack, however, would first follow a series of psychological operations currently underway designed to destabilize Ukraine and undermine its ability to fight, said Budanov, speaking through an interpreter.
It seems a conflict between Ukraine and Russia is on the horizon. What do you think NSG? Will the USA and NATO get involved? Can Ukraine withstand a Russian invasion? Could Russia attack even earlier than thought? Discuss

It would be far too great.
It's more likely that the Americans and Ukrainians are posturing to get some kind of defensive aid bill or defence budget improvements coming.

It's rather amusing -- people who oppose the interests of weaker geopolitical powers off of the base of ethical or political concerns regarding the nature of such powers, in spite of their general criticism towards US hegemony, are the same kind of people who'll argue that electoralism in favour of Biden/the Democrats is "the lesser evil".
Fracturing the imperialist camp and intensifying these fractures can only serve to further damage the imperial system and eventually bring it crashing down.
It nearly happened once before, it can happen again.
If this means that we must hedge our bets on Russia opposing US influence, that's regrettable but nevertheless a necessary step. After all, it's "the lesser evil".

That's true but, on the other hand, the rest of the world isn't exactly willing to stop an invasion on European soil.
