From the videos coming out of Kharkiv and areas north west of Kyiv this morning seems like Russia forces are starting to advance more tactically with dismounted infantry and better use of mechanized forces - possibly more regular forces than what has been seen so far as there is a higher presence of VDV (airborne forces) - could be a tougher day ahead for Ukraine.

They’ve upped the ante everywhere but the west of the country unfortunately. A lot more troops and vehicles on the outskirts of Kyiv now too but it’s not encircled yet.
Putin wouldn’t get away with just capturing those eastern areas and then pulling out.
Or you know maybe he just wasn't ready yet? Considering the mess of the first few days I'm liable to believe that more than Trump being the issue.
But for the sake of argument, if Trump was a reason for not doing it sooner then what stops him from waiting until 2025 to do it instead? After all the damage that Trump's second term would have caused to Europe's ability to trust US policy, I think Putin would have been just fine with it.
Either way, it's a minefield of hypotheticals and completely academic to the current reality we now live in.

That's not right. The constitution limit is two CONSECUTIVE terms and is still in place
If the top 25 global exchanges in the US, EU, and East Asia agreed to end user withdrawals, then that would effectively bifurcate the system.
The governments could use a new unrealized gains tax on Bitcoin.

In the long run this will harm Russia's place in the world and the American Republican's some of which are currently praising Putin lol because they would rather say that than agree with Biden. What a time to be alive.

In what way could they can crypto?
Before you even attempt to answer, and notwithstanding the huge technological barriers to banning cryptocurrency, you should take a minute to digest the fact that there's currently an estimated $1.8 trillion in the market and it's not all Russian money.
If you want to ban crypto in order to hit the Russians then you might as well ban dollars as a lot of Russians hold them, too.
Not sure what the truth is in Kharkiv - seems a bigger mechanized force overall has pushed to the centre and for now has a commanding position but mixed reports.

Oh dear, the Trump comments. This has nothing to do with him, the worlds most famous inherited business failure. Forget him, it’s over boys.

These crypto banners are just deluded or they have still got the hump over not being able to get a graphics card at a decent price.
It’s not fair to ban crypto when hundreds of thousands of ordinary people have a lot of their money in it. Why should good folk suffer financial harm because of the whims of a madman.
Anyway, bitcoin is actually being used to crowdfund for Ukraine. Over £7m has been raised so far.
There is even a 'special community' for these people. Go there and be square.
Doesn't quite tally up with other news and messages I've recieved from friends and colleagues who are there. But hey ho, I guess your intelligence is sound.
Freezing the central bank out is far more impactful.
Those people get their kicks out of going against the grain.
