Given that Zelensky didn't actually believe Russia would invade, I suspect all those Javelins were sent to Eastern Ukraine.

If you speak Russian\Ukrainian, then you would see that this invasion has burned any hopes of healing in the near future, at least not until Putin is out of government. Ukrainians absolutely hate Russians right now, even the ones that were mum on Crimea in 2014 and generally pro-Russia.

Turkey and Russia has been fighting for centuries but they have excellent business relations. even in this conflict TB-2 has disappeared. I think Turks have constructively engaged Ukranian by diverting there funds to construction projects.

There is a distinct lack of drone usage.
100 Chinese WL2 drones would have saved uncle Putin a lot troubles in this invasion.

i am sure there are drones flying around but we haven seen it. In Syria they use desert base for strike drones not the main one.

Difficult to know with any certainty, given MSM and other sources, but it may well be that Russian forces have positioned themselves to threaten Kviv, but have paused to throw Ukraine an opportunity. Come to an agreement now, and Kviv and other areas are spared. This is a critical moment within this first phase.
