That’s what people said when there was 135, 000 of them on ‘manouvers’ near Ukraine. Lavrov categorically stated that "We have no intention of invading Ukraine,’ as late as 2 days before they invaded. 200km? They could do that in 2 hours or less, easily. Russia has engineered the situation exactly as they did in Donetsk and Donbass. Their intentions are clear.

It’s 200 km through Ukraine. They’ve been trying to get through that span to Odesa for over 2 years.
Their high water mark was the Battle of Mykolaiv in April 2022.
