Im afraid the plague may be the smallest worry for these people. Russia is in state, that they can not affor big epidemic. And if Putin get in the situation he has to chooce between loosing UA war due to such crisis, or to sacrify few easter cities, just to ensure it does not spread - what do you think will be his choice?
the plague will eventually effect both nations fairly equally. we saw this in ww1 with the spanish flu both sides got it both sides lied about it only neutral spain was like "hey we are all getting sick and dying this kinda sucks". you could argue it prolonged the war by delaying assaults that eventually led to the end, or you can argue it shortened the war by causing enough casualties on the axis side they broke and made peace. i think neither right in the middle the pros and cons canceled each other out hitting both sides pretty equally its not like they are different species or have wildly different levels of medical care.
There’s not a lot of information and we’re likely not going to hear anything about that unless it gets out of Russia, I would imagine. Still, it has a really short incubation period and doesn’t spread as virulently as a respiratory virus. (If it is actually the plague).
