Ukrainian Gen Oleksandr Syrsky said the office would “maintain law and order” and “meet the immediate needs” of the population in the area.
In a video posted on social media, Gen Syrsky is seen telling a meeting chaired by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky that the office has been created “on the territories controlled by Ukraine”.
The long range missiles put Moscow in range.
The fear is that bombing Moscow would put Putin in a “nothing-left-to-lose” situation which would make the use of nukes more likely.
With that logic, were Ukraine as successful as advancing close towards Moscow, the West would need to hinder the advance in order to calm the Kremlin down to prevent nuclear war.
