Shortest straight way to Kiev from northern direction (Belarus).
They're also landing right now a MASSIVE airborne op west to the city, having taken the Antonov International Airport already (15 minute drive from the city limits).
I'm surprised they are coming from the north, albeit I guess Belarus is basically an extension of Russia at this point. I've always assumed that was their goal with Ukraine as well, to just get a really Russia-friendly puppet government in place.
