Ukraine War: Is Russia about to open up a new front in the conflict?

Professor Michael Clarke looks at how Russia might attack Ukraine in the west to divert Ukrainian resources away from the main cities.

The military expert says the offensive could be launched by Belarusian troops and that could lead to more sanctions being placed on Minsk.

In Ukraine: Russian attacks struck Kyiv, Odesa and other locations across Ukraine as Moscow appears to be shifting its battle plan to compel Ukraine to relinquish claims to its southern and eastern territory.

The number fleeing the war has reached over 3.5 million, the U.N.'s refugee agency said, adding that some 12 million people are stuck in affected areas.
Near Kyiv, where fighting has settled into a stalemate, Russian forces appeared to degrade Ukrainian positions with artillery strikes and long-range missiles. On Monday, the rumble of artillery barrages was nearly constant.
In an online post, Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelensky said 8,057 people had been rescued Monday via eight humanitarian corridors in several cities, including Kyiv and Mariupol. “We also managed to deliver 200 tons of humanitarian aid,’’ he added.
