This makes sense why Russia has concentrated most of the war in the South along the Black Sea. More and more, the mostly inactive Russian military close to Kiev is becoming a ruse to keep most of the Ukrainian military there to protect the capital while it tries to cut Ukraine completely off the Black Sea. I don’t even think Russia is going to stop fighting until all of Ukraine’s coastal waters are in Russian’s hands. That will give Russia access to almost half of the Black Sea and any and all hydrocarbons in it.
