ZERO HOUR: How Putin is preparing massive assault with 500,000 men on two fronts – and Ukraine think they know the EXACT date
VLADIMIR Putin is feared to be preparing for a new onslaught on Ukraine with up to 500,000 soldiers.
Russia is believed to be plotting an attack across two new fronts – pushing into eastern and southern Ukraine.
Putin is desperate to achieve something after a bruising first year which has seen his forces thrown back.
Ukraine however fear the next few weeks will be crucial for the conflict as they continue to call for weapons from the West.
Defence minister Oleksii Reznikov believes Putin is gathering up to 500,00 soldiers for the new offensive.
He warned the Russians could carry out an offensive on two fronts, pushing into the south and into the east in the Donbas.
Kyiv is preparing for the assault – but have admitted things will be difficult and warned they “cannot lose the initiative”.
Vlad’s initial assault last February saw his forces storm towards Kyiv before they were sent back by the Ukrainians.
Ukraine then went on the counteroffensive, liberating huge swathes of the country from the disorganised Russians.
The conflict then slowed down over the winter.
And in recent weeks it has been reported the Russians were beginning to make gains.
Putin will likely be seeking some sort of major triumph or new operation to mark the anniversary – with his future now tied to the success or failure of the war.
“We can’t lose the initiative… We think that, given that [the Russians] live by symbols, they can try something around February 24,” said Reznikov.
He spoke of around “500,000” soldiers being mobilised by Putin.
The minister explained: “They officially declared about 300,000, but when we see their troops at the borders, according to our estimates, it is much more.
“[They] can carry out an offensive on two fronts: it can be Donbas, and it can be the south.”

If this is true and not misinformation, its about to get real. Also the Russian army is getting better and not as bad as they were. They are still found to be wanting, but not as much. Will we see a bunch of T90s with reactive armor appear ? Also once this starts to happen, turn your eye to Taiwan.
Most of the facts and conclusions in this piece are of dubious nature or just completely false. I wonder if the White House gets real intelligence or they get shit tainted by their own propaganda? The whole damn thing is just a shit storm of misinformation.
