Consequently, if Russia will be taking enough of Ukraine to push its border an additional 700 miles away from The Kremlin, to becoming 1,000 miles from it, that 1 minute would still be too near, only around 15 minutes; and, so, Russia will have to take all of Ukraine (unless Russia will instead move its capital to or near Novosibirsk). However, if Russia does that (takes all of Ukraine), then it will need to say explicitly, which it never yet has clearly stated (Putin is incompetent at PR), that the U.S. coup in 2014 that grabbed Ukraine, which had been a neutral country on Russia’s border, started this war, and constituted America’s aggression against Russia, to which Russia’s “Special Operation” necessarily is finally responding, for Russia’s own essential self-defense. Hu-oh, someone did a little miscalculation here, didn’t they?
