resolve the kremlin says, 11 days of war, game starting on thursday, are aimed at training to repel an attack on russia's southern borders. the white house national security adviser said negotiations with russia was still an option, but time is running out. we believe that there is a very interesting possibility that vladimir putin will order an attack on ukraine . it could take a number of different forms. it could happen as soon as tomorrow, or it could take some weeks yet. there was a different milder tone from the crating government, ukraine's foreign minister tweeted, do not believe the apocalyptic predictions. different capitals have different scenarios, but ukraine is ready for any development. today ukraine has a strong army, unprecedented international support, and ukrainians, faith in their country. this enemy should be afraid of us, not us,

notably the national security advisor, were not able to say exactly when a russian invasion of ukraine could take place. they allowed that not only could it happen perhaps on monday or in a couple of weeks after the beijing olympics of wrapped up or perhaps at the beginning of spring because of weather conditions might be better suited for a land invasion there. they've also intimated that it may not be a traditional land warfare type of activity. it could be of gross levels of a cyber hacking, for example. or it could be a, another type of repression that could be used. so not a lot of specificity, but u. s. officials are adamant that they believe that the russian government has now organized itself in a way to try to invade ukraine. whether you take the capital cave or invade from

the east, given that at least 100000 u. s. a. excuse me, russian troops have been stationed on that border for some time now. so supposing russia does invade ukraine, at some point, been what happens? come on. santa maria has been looking at some of the potential scenarios. russia and ukraine share around 2000 kilometers a border, which means all along that line, their ample opportunities for russia to make some sort of incursion. and remember, it already has you got these gray areas, the separatist regions of done yet in the hands giggle, crimea, in the south, it means moscow already has a foothold in the country. and on top of that, we know there is a list. these varying levels of russian troop build ups in all these locations, none of this is new, but it is worth remembering what the map really looks like. now the center for strategic and international studies, which is a think tank a base in washington has been running a few likely scenarios and it is the existing geography which plays

a big pot. for example. there is actually a river, i'm going to sort of roughly drop in here that runs all the way through ukraine. it's the dynette pro. actually it starts in russia. it gets through belarus and then at through ukraine, up to the black sea. if russia invades, than the dynette, performs a sort of natural defacto border, if you like. and russia can sort of add on to the territory where it already has a presence. all there is a southern option, and this brings crimea into play, which russia annexed back in 2014 down the south. their trips can easily move in from the south. they can come in as well from the 8th. and in doing so, it's sort of creates a little belt of territory, right across the bottom of ukraine from done yet. so through to that little thin sliver of lambda, which is called trans mystery, a breakaway region of moldova, doing that cuts off ukrainian access to the black sea and secure fresh water supplies for crimea. the most senior judge in tunisia has accused president chi sides of illegally undermining the judiciary. independence of the president
