I think some of these videos are misleading, the one with the tanks is already on YouTube for over a year

Yeah - annoyingly a lot of people just repost old stuff retitled and/or streaming playbacks of older stuff as if live - it is a pain.

Sadly a common tactic with Russia to have "peace talks" and launch an offensive in the middle of them - I'm guessing hoping to catch people with their guard down hoping for a good outcome.
 
Putin's only two options appear to be getting Ukraine to let go of the two republics and Crimea or risking the wrath of his inner circle to pointlessly try to occupy a country that will never accept it.

Putin will also want everything south of Dnipro per the need to keep control of the water canal to Crimea, but I doubt Zelenskyy will accept that.

When the only option Russia will offer is the complete surrender of Ukraine is there any point?

How exactly do you do that, when an invasion force is marching on your home soil, killing your people, and has deployed a bunch of thugs to assassinate you?

Well it has to be done, there is no option for both countries.
I suspect China has been involved in this getting the west against the Russians and Russian's against the west, kill off two powers.. Throughout history they have done this, I hope both sides see the real enemy.
We are going to see a mega arms race now, I expect militarism of space. Trump has the right Idea, they all laught at space force.

Sounds like you have a reliable source with inside intelligence from the negotiations. :D

…I hope, however unlikely, an agreement can be reached. The emerging humanitarian misery is catastrophic for all people - particular impact and immediacy for Russians and Ukrainians.

Well if China was involved then all it's achieved is uniting Europe with a vast increase in defence spending along with the possible end of one of their allies, so thanks I guess.

Putin is such a good influence on the Russian economy. It’s been in decline under his leadership.
 
Surprised Russia isn't kicking off about the fighter support - seems NATO has been providing them with AWACS from inside Poland as well as refuel/rearm.

Not sure I hold much faith in the talks in Belarus but seems Russian forces are taking the time to resupply currently and the breakaway regions supposedly have "suspended" mobilization pending outcome of the talks - but again wouldn't hold much to that.

A few children from influencial Chinese families have pick up and gone back to China 2 weeks ago.
One morning they just left the UK and disappeared from their studies, it was very strange.
