That is probably one of the reasons the others are maybe:
- force Russia to redeploy troops from the front further south
- force Russia to guard the entire border seriously, hence using more soldiers
- make Putin look weak within Russia and abroad(this has a lot of consequences, mostly good for Ukraine
- take prisoners for exchange
Maybe. But I'd imagine it's an attempt to force Putin to move some troops around; taking them from other areas to defend this new front.
They seized the only gas line to the EU, so the Russian simps still using the gas get nyet. Maybe plant the seeds of rebellion? If these people get cut off from the propaganda, they just might start seeing the big picture
The gas line goes through Ukraine proper. Ukraine had the ability to destroy it for the entire war and did choose not to. So clearly not the reason they went into Russia.
I've said this before when someone said the same thing.
Ok. You blew up the pipeline on your own land.
Now who has to deal with the massive constant fire, the possible wildfire, and the environmental clean up after the fire?
Ukraine. They did it this way to minimize the total damage. Now the pipeline is shut off, the controls are gone, and the environment is intact.
