You know that famous adage that silence speaks volumes. Well isn't it incredible that certain posters would rather argue the toss about people's views on an AI article, yet not utter a single positive opinion on the ground Ukraine has made in the last week.
 
The Shanghai Cooperation Organisation has a conference between Thursday/Friday. Will Putin attend with the growing risk he's facing from his own forces? If he does go he can't possibly be happy knowing that Xi will probably be laughing at him.
 
Some tweets seem to be suggesting there's a chance of it being "game over" soon... no more units to be sent, Putin scrapped a meeting with generals recently. Also a bunch of rumours of a massive surrender in Kherson.



Thrown in the explosions in Russia today, the more open discontent from among some Russian politicians and this has a real chance of spiraling quite quickly... they can't deny Ukrainian gains and they were already pretty miffed by what happened in the North, now if the South fails and Ukraine manages to exploit the gains further they're screwed.

Lots of finger-pointing and internal blame among the military, FSB, Putin & buddies etc.. this could be approaching the biggest chance yet to overthrow him.
 
If Ukraine regains control over the canal to Crimea they shouldn't just do what they did last time and closed off the inlet, they should semi-permanently disable the entire canal by filling it in until Crimea is returned as that means Russia has nothing to capture because it would take way too long to dig up again.

I think we're at the stage where Putin can either fold, or go all in and he doesn't strike me as the folding type

Might not be his choice. What do you mean by "go all in" in this context? Like mobilisation? That's going to take some time and they're already not sending new units apparently + as per the previous post they've seemingly have had a bit of a farce/mass surrender in the south today - I'm sure details are to follow on that.
 
Russia will probably have the audacity to try and negotiate a truce on pre war borders now, as if Ukrain would be that stupid

What a waste of life by Putin for his sick fantasy, now look where he ended up probably down the barrel of someone gun soon enough.

Hopefully he won't have a long and happy retirement. Russians don't tend to be too forgiving towards failed leaders though.

Would mobilisation even help - they can't logistically support the soldiers thay already have, adding to the numbers just makes the problem worse. Could they arm and equip whoever they call up, scraping the barrel now.
