According @googlemaps, there is a "traffic jam" at 3:15 in the morning on the road from Belgorod, Russia to the Ukrainian border. It starts *exactly* where we saw a Russian formation of armor and IFV/APCs show up yesterday.

I look forward to your all knowing and likely sarcastic and unhelpful reply.

I imagine Putin is only interested in Eastern Ukraine (for now). For a start it is a lot flatter than the more westerly parts, and thus easier to defend from insurgents.
But also, maybe precisely because it is so flat, it constitutes the majority of arable land in Ukraine. Apparently, Ukraine has a total population of c 40M but can grow enough wheat for 150M, food that Russia will now control.Work in the public sector? Read the IR35 FAQ hereComment

As for the food comment: not in terms of international law. The land still belongs to Ukraine. I expect this to remain as such, given the way in which Russia has behaved these last 2 days.Comment
