Russian War Crimes (Part 1)

What @PaulRoJo said. They have no reason to change tactics but itā€™s going to get more difficult for them as in the east Russia has a supply corridor through Donbass. This is going to be an enormous challenge for them however they seem to have incredible intelligence (USA, France ā€¦?) and great communications.
I can not imagine that they would bomb or attack Russian cities (they will try very hard to keep it clean and surgical). That doesnā€™t mean they wonā€™t attack supply columns with artillery with in Russia when they have the opportunity.
They still have immense difficulties and problems, to the east as stated but more flagrantly to the south and the sea (I loved the ā€˜provocationā€™ video of the Ukrainian fighter plane on operations in the south, Russia should have complete dominance here yet Ukraine ā€˜postedā€™ this video (of course it could be fake and probably is but the provocation stands)). This also brings into context their other major problem, the skies. They just can not compete here which means they have to keep everything very calculated. The sea is another one making them very vunerable in the south particularly due to terrain there, as we know they didnā€™t defend here during the initial Russian attack just because it would have been suicide however they can have the upper hand now for counter attacks (except from bombardment from the sea which I mentionned before).
So it will remain very tactical, no gungho macho stuff calculated defense counterattack stategies. They will have to also watch out over getting caught out and exposed during this Russian ā€˜retreatā€™.
I think also Belarusse poses a problem, they have to guard against attack from there which will limit the number of armed forces they can really deploy in any counter attack. They will stay on their guard and still be very vunerable.
This is from a non military man and taken from what I have understood so far.

I think their biggest worry is going to be keeping their forces in check because there is surely a massive will for vengence now and things could get really out of hand. Zelensky has said the Russian soldiers ā€˜need to die for thisā€™ I think that was his 1st poor statement because he doesnā€™t want to encourage revenge imo. (though clearly he is right).

You are also correct Ukraine are a very long way from winning this, russia has the might, so they must remain alert and calculated.

I think the key is when/if they fully control the other borders like the Belarusian one Ukraine can literally make it un-passable. Removing all railtracks, flooding fields, destroying bridges and roads, in effect making choke points where if Russia wants to invade again it is funnelled into killing zonesā€¦ Considering how much it struggled with basically an open path I doubt it would make little to any gains again in the North. I think this is why they are pushing hard for anti-air hard sites so they can counter another airborne invasion which would be Russians only other chance in the North.

This means they can keep much less troops in the North and start to regain ground south, but sadly itā€™s going to be a long and incredibly hard task against such a genocidal opponent.

I can not disagree more, he has the right to these emotions and to express them, itā€™s good to know this.
I would agree if it was the prime minister or President but a civilian who is on the verge of losing everything, no, this is what war does!

The German governmentā€™s excuses for not stopping gas/oil imports are getting weaker and weaker. I donā€™t follow their logic at all - except for the bad for the economy bit, which is of course true but a bit disgusting at this point.

Video is not from the city of Sumy itself, but from Buryn in the Sumy Oblast.

Did they get paid for the amount of times they used the word ā€˜Naziā€™?

Nazis using the word Nazi so often, and so wrongly, that it becomes meaningless, thus preventing their critics from pointing out that they themselves are the Nazis.

Everything that Russia has done in this war and at home has been straight out of the Nazi playbook. How dare they use the word about their opponents?

, Mr Bond.

Seriously though, they are ever reaching new heights of how to sound the most fascist in (supposedly) fighting fascism. (Iā€™m using fascism instead of the N word, because I really donā€™t want their money)
