Russia preparing to attack Ukraine by late January: Ukraine defense agency chief

The article misses they most important information that should be part of it. Why would Russia attack Ukraine?

The build up of troops is however undeniable:

"Satellite images show new Russian military buildup near Ukraine" https://www.politico.com/news/2021/11/01/satellite-russia-uk...

If the Ukraine defense agency chief said it, 5 gets you 10 it won't happen.

Apart from that, why the fuck would anybody attack in the appalling conditions of late January? When the Russians attack, they move in Late November-Early December.

Ukraine is going to learn that being the US' friend is more dangerous than being its enemy.

Going earlier has the advantage of fighting a 79 year old POTUS before he dies like the Soviet era elderly leader of the Communist Party. Fighting and winning through all of the winter will go down well in the history books, forever.
