Russia may start an invasion of Ukraine after February 20th. The American publication Politico, citing experts, has named a new date for the invasion of Russian troops.
According to analysts, the previously named date of February 16 “diverted attention from key dates.” “The time frame after Feb. 20 has always been more important,” said Michael Kofman, a Russian military expert at the CNA think tank.
The newspaper also notes that there are other reasons to pay attention to the announced date, since it is at this time that the Munich Security Conference ends, which will be attended by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, US Vice President Kamala Harris and US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken.
“Starting an invasion at a time when American dignitaries are in Europe and the head of Ukraine is outside the country could be an absolute humiliation – the kind of geopolitical trolling that Putin loves,” Politico said.
