Ukraine crisis: Ministry of Defense identifies Russian President Vladimir Putin’s seven possible routes of invasion | worldnews

The Ministry of Defense has identified seven routes via which Russian President Vladimir Putin could launch an invasion of Ukraine.

In an illustration based on satellite imagery and other intelligence sources, it is shown how Mr Putin could primarily target the Ukrainian capital Kyiv, as well as the industrial city of Dnipro.

In the new map, posted by the MoD’s official Twitter account, three possible routes of invasion are shown targeting Kyiv, while three are shown targeting Dnipro.
A seventh potential route of invasion illustrates how Russian forces could move into mainland Ukraine via the occupied peninsula of Crimea, which Mr Putin annexed in 2014.
