Recent events on the battlefield have made all of these eventualities even less likely. A major attack towards Kharkiv is still plausible but not likely.

He's already been through the crucible and clearly has the ability and desire to maintain power even while being blamed for so much suffering in the country. He's not likely to go anywhere in the next seven months.

It would be nothing new, and the Hamas conflict makes it even more likely than in more normal times.

The trend with planet discovery tends to be exponential.

Why do you think you're right?
Recent attacks on Kyiv just haven't yielded this number of casualties. Russia has the capacity to cause this number of casualties, but I see little reason for them to attempt a slaughter in Kyiv by June 1. They would go after Kharkiv first.

Why might you be wrong?

Maybe Putin wants blood.

Why do you think you're right?

Moldova only possible if Ukraine falls first. Armenia doesn't make much sense, lacks the usual "protecting ethnic Russians" cassus beli, and Armenia is historically friendly to Russia though less so now. Just seems unwise to attack them. Georgia maybe, but I think they're already happy with the situation there. Northern Kazakhstan quite possible due to resources, Russian speaking population, and influence from China that Russia might not like. But they're unlikely to attempt this until they can finish licking their wounds from Ukraine, even if they win there.

Why might you be wrong?

A lot of it hangs on how the war in Ukraine proceeds. If it proceeds better for Russia than I think likely, it increases the chance of Russia attacking these other nations. Especially if Russia fully occupies Ukraine, the probability of Moldova being attacked increases significantly. Ukraine fully falling is more or less a prerequisite for an attack on Moldova.
