Battle for Kyiv, Part I - Animated Analysis

It’s the early morning of February 24th, 2022. On the territory of Belarus, right near the Ukrainian border, the elements of the Russian 35th and 36th Combined Arms Armies are preparing for something that will later become known as the largest War in Europe since WW2. In total, it’s somewhere between 35 to 50 thousand troops, hundreds of tanks, IFVs, APCs, and other vehicles as well as a considerable amount of artillery. Russia meticulously gathered its invasion force here for months, calling it a military exercise and now, they are ready to attack the heart of Ukraine - its capital Kyiv. Even though this video was created entirely by me, it is very much inspired by @TheOperationsRoom style. Check them out if you are a military history enthusiast!
