Is Russia planning massive missile attack on Ukraine?

And it is clear that this moment will definitely come. I doubt that there are any exact dates, even in Russia, but there is a certain logic to how this can happen.

I stand by my opinion that Putin wants to negotiate, but from a position of strength. And these negotiations depend one way or another on the results of the US elections. He definitely has no illusions about Trump, because he has already celebrated his victory once, but he never got anything.

"Nevertheless, Putin knows the preconditions that influence Americans. One of them is nuclear weapons. That is why he is conducting nuclear exercises this week. A week before the American elections. Is this a coincidence?"

The second is the energy crisis in Ukraine. The Ukrainian energy once again forces everyone to negotiate with him, as it once again destroys the prospects of Ukraine's victory and the meaning of its support. 

Since he has already made the first move, he will probably make the second move soon. There are two sick logics for when he might do this: during or immediately after the American elections to strengthen his position on the need to end the war. Or with the first serious cold snap, to paralyze the heating system at once.

Whether we like it or not, Ukraine should be prepared for the worst. But to a large extent, surviving the winter and holding the front is tantamount to approaching the end of the war.
