One thing I disagree with is the idea of just setting up a puppet govt in Kiev would solve things for Russia. The problem is that the majority of Ukraine hates Mocows guts especially in the west. Any puppet govt would need to backed by a Russian occupying force to fight the insurgency to come. The moment Russian troops withdraw the puppet govt would collapse just like the Afghan govt did this past summer. The best way Russia can salvage anything from this war is to partition Ukraine. Russia should just go all out with their firepower to crush Ukrainian resistance and take over the eastern and southern parts. The best strategy is to set up a puppet govt in East Ukraine in the capital of Khariv. Call it the People’s Republic of East Ukraine. This way west Ukraine can be a landlocked failed state that will likely descend into civil war as the proliferation of firearms and defeat to Russia will have the Neo nazi militias fight the remnant of the Ukrainian armed forces.
Annexing East Ukraine is another option but I think to get some sanction lifted Russia will create an East Ukraine nation backed by them.
I agree 1000% this is the optimal solution for Russia.

Hear this. Maj Gen Paul Eaton suggests a strategic distraction to draw Russian attention away from Ukraine, like encircling the Kaliningrad Oblast with overmatching NATO military forces. That would be a significant escalation:
Maj Gen Paul Eaton forgot he's talking about countries that wouldn't dare hand jets from Poland to Ukraine even though they share a western border. He's dreaming about a fat kid who eats Cheetos in a bowl of soda doing real life Street Fighter combos.

The Pentagon program in the Ukrainian biolabs is "sensitive information". The government of #Ukraine is prohibited from public disclosure of this sensitive information and Ukraine is obliged to transfer to the US Department of Defense dangerous pathogens for biological research

What odds has Ukraine defied?
The country with the biggest army in Europe (outside Russia) is litterally getting rekt by 200000 disorganised russians employing shitty soviet era tactics.
By all means Russia should've terribly lost this conflict in the first few days because of their braindead generals and yet they're already sieging almost all major Ukrainian cities and have wiped out their industrial foundation inherited from the soviet union after only 2 weeks.

They weren’t even using Soviet tactics. Those tactics stressed the need for encirclement and artillery bombardment which was largely ignored early on in the invasion. Many lives could’ve been saved if Russian soldiers didn’t rush into urban centers. It seems that the commanders have gotten to their senses and started using their brains in planning their next moves.

The Russian soldiers do not wear the same kind of light color bands on their left arms and right legs. In this picture, these guys have some thin white textile bands tied on their limbs. I have seen in other pictures Russian soldiers wearing white reflective tapes that are much wider and with red edges. The Russian soldiers appear to be as unprepared as the Ukrainians in this regard.

Also considering that Russia now admits they have conscripts in Ukraine unexpectedly (confirmed as KIA or captured by Ukraine). I am thinking that Putin might have caught a lot more people off guard, including his army.

It seems as though the Russians forgot how to apply the tactics that they used in Chechnya on approaching Grozny with regards to approaching such cities as Sumy, Chernihiv, and Kharkiv that are relatively close to the Russian border. They were very cautious and methodical during the second war there... Granted that they do not intend to unleash the same extent of destruction as they did on Grozny... Not anything close to that...

But in the first week of the invasion, it looks like they just rushed their advance without taking into consideration the need for drone defence and anti-armour defence, or undertaking extensive preliminary bombardment of locations near and around where they'd establish forward operating bases for siege warfare...
