So Russia invaded Ukraine with not enough manpower? Remember, they planned to take Kiev with these forces back in March. It either means that Russian strategists were even more incompetent than previously shown or the casualties were higher than estimated.
I doubt they wanted to take Kiev. They are not going to repeat Afghanistan where they started from Presidential palace. it may end up there but not start. They know where to consult.

I'm not so sure about that. If you ask me with half a million strong Russian army available for the Winter Offensive where would I strike I'm very inclined to go for Kiev Offensive 2.0

That's just what Shoigu says, he is not dumb to relay all the plans. For example, just yesterday people from Gosduma (parliament) were saying that there will be no mobilization.

There is no full mobilization. Do you distinguish between full and partial mobilization?! Ukraine has already gone through five waves of mobilization.

Turkey’s plans to join the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) have sparked an angry reaction in Berlin, with German Chancellor Olaf Scholz slamming Ankara’s decision to seek membership in the Russia and China-led economic and security bloc.

“I'm very irritated about this development,” Scholz told journalists in New York following his meeting with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly. The chancellor said he believed the SCO was “not an organization delivering an important contribution to a good global coexistence.”

Scholz said, however, that the most important thing was to be in agreement with his counterpart over the Ukraine conflict, particularly on reaching an agreement on “how to make clear that the Russian war on Ukraine may not be successful.”

Erdogan announced Turkey’s plans to formally seek SCO membership during the group’s summit in Samarkand, Uzbekistan, last week. “Of course, that’s the goal,” he said, responding to a question about Ankara’s plans to join the group.

Earlier on Tuesday, the Turkish president also said he didn’t want to choose between the East and the West, adding that he does not owe the EU an explanation for all of his decisions. Erdogan slammed Brussels for keeping Turkey “out for 52 years.”

The SCO is an economic integration and trust-building alliance that was founded in 2001, and is now the world’s largest regional bloc. Currently, the SCO incorporates China, Russia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Uzbekistan, India, Pakistan, and, most recently, Iran. Turkey, along with a number of other countries, is recognized as a special ‘dialogue partner’ of the group.

What right does Germany have to comment on the foreign affairs of 3rd party countries that do not involve Germany in any way?

Refresh my memory. Didn't EU horde all the pandemic supplies and kits and vaccines and causing third world without any tools and vaccines to fight the pandemic. As for climate change, EU is still generating more pollution than most other nations. And many of them are turning back on coal. Talk about hypocrite.

"Who was here during the pandemic? Who offers financing to help the climate transition? Not those who are coming to you today with the idea of a new world order. Not those who didn't a have a vaccine that worked and offer nothing in the face of climate change," he said.
