The timer at the bottom edge of my vision read 4 hours, 27 minutes and was counting down. It marked the start of the planned Russian attack on Ukraine. According to the communications intercepted by Joe, The would begin with drone strikes in and around Kharkiv and additional strikes to the areas where Ukrainian forces had been forced back by the smaller attack squads sent tin the previous day for the express purposes of getting the Ukrainians spread out along the front to fall back into concentrated positions where greater casualties could be inflicted by air strikes.
