Both Russia and Ukraine know they have the time limit of Jan 20th 2025 to do any changes in this war.
Given the current capabilities, that isn't enough time unless they have all the weapons already set up to use. And even then with Trump coming in, the last thing they want to do is do something that forces Trump's hand when he takes office like using the weapons against something that has radioactive material.
It might be that they're trying to get everything through so that Trump either reverses them and is called a Russian asset, or has to go along with the escalation.
To be honest, I'm not very hopeful given Trump's record in the previous admin & his appointments of the likes of Rubio. Then again, maybe he learned that he escalated by sending lethal arms to Ukraine and they still called him a Russian asset. You cannot appease these people.
Ukraine Escalation was on my "How they'll fuck with the Trump transition" Bingo card. I'm neither surprised or entirely concerned about this, unless they try a nuclear false-flag.
Question is, does Congress have the nads to sack the Potato's ass before he's punted out of the Oval Office for pulling a stunt like this? Probably not...
UKR doesn't give a fuck about it's people. Once those gloves come off, every city and town is fair game. I feel like they know that Russia will escalate as well, but then just plan on using the propaganda machine to make it seem like wittle Ukraine never started nuffin?
I don't think so. This would just be Biden taking a crap in the vents of his old office as a "Fuck you" to the company* that fired him.
*Company in this instance are the citizens of the United States. Sorry the rest of the world will most likely have to deal with the, literally, fall out too.
Also might be a way for the goofy Transvestite Generals to keep their jobs for a little while. They might be thinking Trump won't boot them while we're at war.
Given the Ukies penchant for attacking civilian targets I'd wager they'll strike Moscow itself. That or go for another attack on the Kursk nuclear plant. More likely Moscow I think, and they'll strut and preen about it without realizing that they'd essentially galvanize the Russians into exterminating them.
The(y) are signalling so hard that their happy funtime golem propping up is going to end in 40 days, and they want to burn as many of their enemies as possible in that time. The acceleration is probably the biggest signal that the trump administration won't be kissing as many walls as possible.
The officials said that while the Ukrainians were likely to use the missiles first against Russian and North Korean troops that threaten Ukrainian forces in Kursk, Mr. Biden could authorize them to use the weapons elsewhere.
I'm guessing they're trying to create a crisis and dump it on Trump. If they're not careful it will backfire, though, and make him look like the hero.

My guess is that it was something they were going to do anyway after the election, regardless of whether they won or lost.
You get more flexibility after the election.

Congress having nads? Definitely not.
"Maga Mike" did a 180 on all his positions as soon as he became Speaker.
I wondered why all the neocons voted for him.
Biden has no idea this happened.
Making sure negotiations fail before they can even begin.
Oh look, lame duck escalating his wars so the new president can't back out

Ukraine's government is occupied by a tribe that has a fallback nation guarded with nukes. Ukraine's peoples are clay people they can discard at will.
I think their new plan is to instigate WW3 and then waltz out the door cackling at Trump.
no clue about US systems: is there some ay Biden can say "we're at war, no change in government"?
it's how zelenski avoids new election in UA

From what I can tell the people most interested in pursuing the war (e.g. Zelensky, Nuland, etc) there are not Ukrainians
Russia better get those Pantsir's up and running. Also, this surely will end poory.
Burning everything down on the way out.

According to NYT it's Kursk only at this point.
Only plus to the ukraine war is cool close range infantry go pro footage
