| On the Sunday Morning Coffee Pot: Ukraina's plans |
| 2014-09-13 |
 The Ukrainian military is showing signs of planning a second attack to regain control over its breakaway states, Lugansk and Donetsk, despite suffering tremendous losses against pro Russian militia in August. No one knows when the attack will begin. Rantburg.com foreign military issues writer Chris Covert helps provide a summary of opposing forces in the area and possible plans of the Ukrainian military. |

| #2 Rumors are at the moment that the Ukrainian military will end the ceasefire on Sunday or Monday. My personal theory is that the Ukrainians will wait until after the October 26th parliament elections. The pro Russian militias are too weak to provoke a break in the truce and the optics in the event of the upcoming Ukrainian counteroffensive, for Ukraina's Maidan movement could negatively affect their chances. YMMV |
