The War in the Ukraine

A Dutch newspaper published an article titled The attacks should make Crimea unsuitable for the Russians. They talk about deserted beaches and link them to Russia losing control over Crimea. Even more evidence the attack on the beach was intentional.Arrival of the cluster munition on the "non civilian occupiers" of Crimea
So because a Dutch newspaper that has no insight on how Ukraine chooses targets gives an opinion what should happen in Crimean beaches that is "evidence" the attack on the beach was intentional? Are you kidding me? You telling me Ukraine is going to waste a highly value missile on beach goers? Where's your logic?A Dutch newspaper published an article titled The attacks should make Crimea unsuitable for the Russians. They talk about deserted beaches and link them to Russia losing control over Crimea. Even more evidence the attack on the beach was intentional.
How about this.... Russia didn't alert beach goers of incoming missiles and shot one of them down with couple dozen clusters surviving the intercept? And btw why are there beach goers in the middle of a war zone?
Russian air defense reportedly shot down an ATACMS cluster munitions variant in occupied Sevastopol 2 days ago. The amount of submunitions hitting the water/beach and how they are dispersed (wider than usual) seems to confirm the missile was downed. This beach is only 5km away from Belbek Military Airbase, actively used by Russia. Russian authorities reported that 4 people were killed and 153 injured although that cannot be concluded from this footage.
It's not necessary to lie...Even more evidence the attack on the beach was intentional.
On YouTube there are many videos of the operation of subminitions... The images in the video seem to be very clear...
Podolyak doubling down on the Crimean beach attacks. Notice how he doesn't show remorse or even consider Crimean people to be Ukrainian. These are supposed to be his people, but he can't even bring himself to say something like "Our condolences to our occupied people for this mistake, and are working to liberate them from the Russian occupation". It would have been moral and legal. It goes to show why the region voted to secede to Russia.

There is only one answer to the constant erosions of the red line. More and more Russian mobilization of man power and industry. Russia is still playing at war instead of seriously fighting it tooth and nail. In WW2, they were able to field an army of 12 million as their maximum. Population of the soviet union was 180 million in 1939. That's not much bigger than modern Russia. Yes, maybe Russia has less younger men or less ability to mobilize that many people.Chances increase that ban on American military contractors serving in Ukraine to fight Russian invasion will be lifted...
The red lines have faded...
But they should have the ability to mobilize 2 million easily. Right now they are fighting in Ukraine with 3-400 thousand men. Its too small.
Russian economy has much more resources and industry than soviet union in ww2. They should be able to sustain such an army if they were serious about this war and take a bit political pain.
But Putin is playing it really safe and using minimal amount of force. This prevents him from losing this war but also doesn't enable him to win it.
Although Russia is slowly ramping it up more and more. Their population is getting ever more supportive and angry about Ukraine and Nato. Russia is also slowly increasing its army size. But the question is if such a slow ramp up will be enough compared to western ramp up. Ukraine is getting more and more sophisticated weapons including fighter jets, missiles and drones.
I do expect Western "volunteer" force to slowly come into Ukraine in the future too. So, I don't know how much time Russia has left before its too late.

According to Putin's statements, the current deployment in Ukraine is approximately double your estimate, I'm talking about about 700,000 military personnel deployed in the SVO...
These statements by Putin were made last week, and it is not clear if he is including the militants of the separatist republics or is only talking about those mobilized from Russia.
