Moscow seen moving troops into east Ukraine ahead of expected offensive; Russia sees gains in Donetsk
The Ukrainian governor of the mainly Russian-occupied Luhansk province in the east of the country warned Monday that Russia is moving troops into eastern Ukraine ahead of its anticipated action, saying "we are seeing more and more reserves being deployed in our direction, we are seeing more equipment being brought in."
"We are seeing more and more reserves being deployed in our direction, we are seeing more equipment being brought in," Serhiy Haidai, Ukraine's governor of the mainly Russian-occupied Luhansk province, said Monday, according to Reuters. Ukraine is in a tricky position as it prepares to defend its positions in eastern Ukraine but awaits battle tanks and longer-range weaponry from its international allies. The delivery of tanks could take several months at least, Western officials say.Russia making gains but lacks manpower and munitions for successful offensive, UK says
The ministry noted that senior commanders are likely making plans "requiring undermanned, inexperienced units to achieve unrealistic objectives due to political and professional pressure" with Ukrainian intelligence suggesting that Russian President Vladimir Putin "It will most likely take them 10 days to gather reserves. After Feb. 15 we can expect at any time."
"There will be planes, too," Reznikov predicted. "The question is just what kind exactly.... Consider that this mission is already completed." "In January 2023, we saw that Russia intended to mobilize 300,000 to 500,000 people into the army to support offensive operations in the east and south of Ukraine in the spring and summer of 2023," Vadym Skibitskyi, the spokesman for the Main Intelligence Directorate said Monday, according to news agency Ukrinform.

History As It Happens: When Ukraine Had NukesWhen Ukraine acceded to Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty in 1994, the country’s leaders fulfilled a vow they had made as soon as Ukraine became an independent state in 1991. Ukraine would relinquish the thousands of nuclear warheads and intercontinental ballistic missiles on its territory – it’s “nuclear inheritance” after the collapse of the USSR. Looking back at that decision through the lens of Russia’s invasion one year ago, some observers now contend that Ukraine made a mistake by voluntarily ceding its potential nuclear deterrence, although Ukraine never had independent operational command and control over the weapons. Moreover, as political scientist and nuclear historian Mariana Budjeryn demonstrates in her new book, “Inheriting the Bomb,” the majority of Ukrainian political and military leaders in the early 1990s viewed holding onto the nukes as more dangerous than it might be worth. In this episode, Budjeryn discusses the momentous events and decisions that resulted in Ukraine transferring all its nuclear weapons to Russia to be dismantled. She illuminates an important chapter in international relations that left Ukraine in a diplomatic and political no man’s land from which it could not completely extract itself over the next 30 years.
