I presume the expectation is that Ukraine keeps all the military equipment that remains usable at the end of this conflict?
Putin will end up with a significantly degraded military, both in force and perception, and a Ukraine even more closely aligned to the West with a larger more technically advanced army.
Great move fuckstick.

Further to the above:
So… They work with what they have? Planning to build up forces again to attack instead of throwing them in piecemeal? Scaled withdrawal? After this week, who knows.

I was shocked to come back to over 100posts. the regulars in this thread have been very busy but it’s been a fairly good read, both in content and news.
the maps have been quite helpful in tracking the movement from day to day as so many of the location are foreign to me. A few of Magnus’ posts with the 4-5min video clips showing where the UA forces have been spearheading have been used by the BBC, but have also cut out a lot of the important contexts especially when it comes to Russian media.

I have posted much from the Rusdian media including a longer version of the talk show clip
I’ve seen a lot of them. I suspect the Rafa-looking guy with the glasses will have fallen out of a window by the end of the week.

These are quite good these videos of this guy. Very informative. Little exaggeration and propaganda.
Also curated and deemed decent by me, however he speculates much more so be wary of his forecasts:
Ignore the clickbait headlines, the videos are better than the headlines.

The evil witch Simonyan makes me shudder
More and more voices amongst the Nationalists supporting this war calling for elimination of the civilian infrastructure of Ukraine.

It is definitely a dangerous inflection point, where ineffectiveness is creating pressures to escalate. But what they seem to ignore is that Ukraine has been as restrained as they have - Russian infrastructure is every bit as vulnerable as Ukrainian. The Russians have more weaponry, but probably have far more to lose.

Indeed. The Russians knows this though, but many Russian analysts, right or wrong, thinks Ukraine does not dare to escalate. As you well know, many have a very inflated view of what Russia can get away with and let us face it, many Russian analysts and drink the kool aid and suffer from megalomania. For them, it is unthinkable that Ukraine seriously strikes Russia proper.
But as we have seen, there are some voices in Russia warning about this.
