If Russia Imposed A Naval Blockade To Prevent

[sandyRoe]

Ukraine important necessary materiel, how else could it be imported?

[rowanwitch]

Fly it into Poland or other neighbouring country...

[ichkeria]

Where do you envisage such a naval blockade might occur?

[ichkeria]

Most stuff comes by plane anyway and then by rail.
The Russians have shown themselves incapable of targeting any arms supplies from the west and have to date not destroyed for example a single HIMARS launcher.

[sandyRoe]

My mistake forgetting that they have a land border with Poland.

[ichkeria]

Stuff also comes through Romania

[ichkeria]

So I’m told :-)

[Peter Pedant]

what - along the poland ukraine border ?
well, that is certainly thinking outside the box !

[fender62]

russians won't try and and destroy western arms outside of ukraine
that would be a death wish, they are out gunned military wise, it would go nuclear if they did, american intelligence is watching, and i bet without a doubt, would hammer russia, let alone other countries once america opens fire... but religious nutz would say end times hallelujah.

[Hopkirk]

Remember the Berlin airlift.

[ichkeria]

It would not go nuclear: the west has a no first strike posture.
The Russians won't hit it as they haven't a baldy clue where it is :-)

Meanwhile, it seems as though Ukrainian forces, which have been edging towards Kreminna (Luhansk) for weeks while all the doom and gloom merchants have their day, are it seems in at least a part of the town. Controlling this town and Svatove to the north would be a major setback for the occupiers.
