Yup, all too convenient. Warnings from various intelligence agencies a few weeks ago warning about this. That probably delayed the attack until now. Putin secures his victory last week so no worry about losing popularity during an election. Shoigu on TV going on about increasing manpower and people wondering where it will come from. The russians now referring to this as a war instead of a special military op. Moscow and SPB have largely avoided mobilization, but now the perfect excuse has popped up. How...convenient this all falls in place at this exact moment in time.
