Reply to comment by Louisvanderwright in Belarus claims Ukraine army groups have massed at border, risking its security by WickedSlice_

Despite Russia's general incompetence, it's hard enough as it is for Ukraine to defend its territory. Going through Moldova and Belarus would be a death sentence as the Russian propaganda puppets there would decry it as an invasion by Ukraine and how Russia was right all along. And I'm fairly certain Ukraine would stop receiving outside help at that point as well.

In Moldova, there's the possibility they are invited in by the Moldovan government, removing the risk of losing western support. And if successful, it would make for a more stable Moldova, and a western border that doesn't require as much of a military presence from Ukraine any longer.
