My theory is they plan to flank the entire front line by going through Russian territory. Then use the occupied territory as leverage to get reparations from Russia, as well as a peace treaty obviously.
I doubt it. If I were in their position I’d just try to disrupt the supply of logistics to the front and do as much damage to the economy as possible. Once the oligarchs start suffering then they just get to sit back and watch the chaos. Doing a large push is needlessly risky. They have the advantage and the initiative, and they should take it, but there’s no way they have the logistics to the rear to seriously push.
@Ilovethebomb@LaFinlandia that or just plain walk into Moscow and St. Petersburg and tell Vladimir that they’re running the place now. From what I can tell about the Russian economy, he’s not doing a great job and they might go for that. Who knows. I don’t pretend to understand Russian politics.

While it’s fun to dream, I think foreign troops advancing on Moscow is something that actually might get a nuclear response.
