Several videos from Melitopol seems like most of the Russian soldiers are completely inexperienced only a small number seem drilled and moving with purpose.
Few cryptic messages coming out of the US not just Marco - I've got a bad feeling they are going to start testing Putin's resolve soon.

They're moving tanks into Kyiv, absolutely bat **** insane, I think the Russians just have no strategic agility, incapable of taking out air defense (apparently 50% of UA stuff is operational) and Putin has lost his mind. I hope this emboldens the Ukrainians to retake Donbass & Crimea and push the Russians out entirely!
Well it's the more 'Russian' part of the country so maybe they thought it only needed the conscripts doing the legwork down south, but it could also be that the rumours about the intemperance of their men per the low morale is an accurate depiction of the state of their forces.
Honestly even if it's a bit ridiculous... maybe this is partly about killing off those soldiers? If they survive then great, but no real loss if they get popped and end up as ash in their mobile ovens.
Feel like that myself at times - was a beautiful morning where I live yesterday and I just lay on my bed truly thankful that I didn't have to wonder if any distant rumbling might be the sound of approaching combat.

Oh dear.
God there is some really nasty footage out there, what a shameful waste of young lives this is. Assuming we trust the Ukrainian information there are over 3000 young Russian men dead and goodness knows what the Ukrainians have suffered... for what?
Also it seems Putin is cornered as his usual 'strong' demeanour has been shattered and is muttering words like 'desperate' in front of people that are likely to remove him. What gets me is that he's almost always very far away from other people... honestly I think the stupid photo with him and Macron was actually because he is just that paranoid.

I'm half expecting him getting overthrown before it's too late and he takes us over the precipice.
If we're to believe Zelenskyy assuming he's still alive then apparently we're (France was mentioned) still suppling military arms to the country. Considering that is by definition interference it ought to have gotten a response from Putin so maybe it's an attempt to goad Russia into attacking NATO?

We're not only supplying arms to Ukraine, we're supplying real-time intel to them too.
I know but that's more ambiguous than literal rockets, missiles, ammunition, guns and whatever else.

This thread makes me laugh sometimes.
The way Russian losses are being reported as so terrible, and that the numbers of losses are so big how can Russia carry on.
A hundred possibly lost on one airplane, is not nice for the parents, but this is war, soldiers die,, and for every one person lost on that plane Russia have 100, 000 or more ready to fill the space.
Imagine the way the D day landings would have been talked about.
The losses that allied forces had on the beaches, most on this thread would be saying the allies could never win, getting obliterated on the beaches, cannot sustain that level of loss.
But back then the allies , as the Russians now, had superiority in numbers,
Hundreds or thousands killed on the beaches yes.
But hundreds of thousands following in to fill the spaces, and push forward, sheer weight of numbers overwhelming defences.
That is where Russia WILL win this, in superiority of numbers in troops, vehicles, planes, everything . Yes they may be older equipment, but there are more of them.
They outnumber Ukranian forces massively, and as NATO will not EVER get involved militarily with boots on the ground Russia just keep going, and vastly outnumber Ukranian defenders.

Don't think anyone's under any illusions about Russia's historical policy on throwing people at a problem.
Dont see that happening the army will give in if it carries on the russian soldiers reportedly thought they were only on the boarder for exercises and dont want to fight ukraine

That is less than 1% of what he has available.
They will do what they are ordered to do.
That is what they signed up for, and know they will probably be shot by their own side if they back down, or desert, or chat back to officers etc.
