While there has been all kinds of maps on Russian force positioning around Ukraine, with possible lines of attack, there is hardly any on Ukraine.
If I get military folks right, a nation in the position of Ukraine, facing a powerful invation, could hold the bulk of its forces strategically in the interior, waiting for the attacking force to show its hand, or until the center of gravity of the invading force is determined, then hit it in a counterattack.
Or, the defending nation can put the bulk of its forces in forward positions hoping to bruise or stop the invading forces at the border areas.
Is Ukraine holding the bulk of its forces in strategic reserve, say west of the Dnieper?
Or are the bulk of Ukrainian forces already deployed at Kiev, Kharkiv, Donbass separation points, and in the south on the Black Sea?
If the last, it could become a debacle if the Russians manage to broke through say Kharkiv and from the south.
Maybe those with military knowledge can shed some light
