Russians wanted to hold it in Belarus, but Kyiv refused due to kidnapping fears. RU doesn’t want to negotiate, I am pretty sure. They just want to regroup and concentrate their attacks better I think. Like Kofman says, majority of RU forces not even engaged. They are sending in companies a lot of places, instead of battalions. So piecemeal.

That supports my view.
I do think many in here have a very outdated view on the outlook of the average Russian. They’ve long since emerged from behind the iron curtain.

I was one of the people you offended and am glad to see that you now realise how poorly this reflected on you. Let’s all just stick to the matter at hand , I think there’s plenty enough here to keep us all busy without disappearing down rabbit holes.

Yeah, most younger Russian hate what is happening. As does many older Russians too. They are not insulated in Soviet propaganda anymore. Of course, a large percent swallows the RU domestic propaganda. But not like during the Soviet Union where internet did not exist.

Seems delivery was delayed (probably due to pilots not being ad hoc available. But now it is happening apparently.
No more cozying up to Russia and Russland-Verstehen in Italy.
Vladimir Putin only has Victor Orban left to make deals with now.
