Ukrainian War Developments

Ironically, the months before this conflict have been Putin's weakest domestically. Russia was affected very badly by the pandemic, and he withdrew from public for a month. The communists were stronger than they've been since the USSR.
I'd imagine his popularity to improve with his policy on Ukraine.
Generally tanks don’t advance without infantry or artillery support. They’ll, probably, have attack helo support, as well. Additionally, Russian reactive armor seems to be quite effective.
They've had a number of different western platforms delivered to them in the past 3 years. Must be a logistical nightmare, and I wonder how well they've been trained in using them.
For them to work soldiers need to stand and fight. The Ukrainian army failed to do that in the last conflict, I doubt this one will be any different.
Sanctions seem to be strong this time (if he fully invades) so I am not sure how high his popularity will be if he fully invades Ukraine.
Question time:
Anyone knowns the policies supported by the communist party in Russia? Are they similar with the CPC ?

Domestically they are socialist but committed to democracy. Most of the old USSR era party has been dismantled. They want to be tough on the oligarchs.
On foreign policy they are very hawkish. Like Putin on steroids.
Not much like the CPC.

The problem is, it doesn't matter what their purported policy is, without a strong leadership, any party is prone to being corrupted.
True but they got a good example on what to do from next door (China). I am sure that the CPC would be glad to help them on some issues, as it does with the CPV (Vietnam)
...and the same person that gave the US the right to turn Ukraine into another US vassal state via the coup the US sponsored and organized itself (illegally) which got the entire Ukraine crisis escalated into a proxy war and civil war in Europe.
