I am interested in the statistics, I wasn’t trying to make light of anyone their because I have been some videos of Ukrainian soldiers surrendering in some places as per rt but I have yet to see the same of Russian soldiers doing the same. I am not surprised that Russia hasn’t taken Kiev yet but this is early days, it would be foolish to rush things because right now Germany has sanctioned Russia in regards to there economy when 50% of their natural gas comes from Russia. This is going to have some very negative effects on Germany in the short and long term so Rushing blindly and making decisions on extreme emotion is not going to help anyone.
If I mean my statements in a harsh tone when that isn’t the attention, I apologise

There's a lot of sounds of MLRS in Kiev and Kharkov now. The Russians may have decided to do so.

This may sound harsh, but the moment Putin decided to go all in on Ukraine he should’ve been prepared to, you know, stop holding back. The global media will paint him a villain regardless of what he does.

If you choose the irrational action, be decisive enough to go completely bonkers. Otherwise it will only handicap your forces.

after 3 days the Crimea and Donetsk armies have not managed to link up

it’s only 15km and Russia cannot secure that corridor along the Sea of Azov and have land bridge to Crimea like they wanted

EU, UK, Canada, US pledge to remove selected Russian banks from interbank messaging system SWIFT​

Weaponization of the dollar and now it has just accelerated the dedollarization of the global economy. Article doesn’t mention it but haven’t they made an exception for oil and gas. Quite clear that Putin should turn the taps off.

I said it from the very 1st day:
"“A lioness will use all of her strength even when hunting a rabbit.”

However, I believe Putin's strategy is good. No need to have Afghanistan 2.0 next door. The current strategy is sound as long as the overall war progress isn't derailed

The longer this drags on, the more NATO weapons will be flowing in, the more Western audiences will see this invasion and pressure their govts to do something (have I mentioned how idiotic.it is that they still have internet...)

Russia’s recent actions have been mostly tentative.Syria wasn’t the least bit impressive!

This individual is probably one of the few sane/ credible OSINT posters on Twitters.

Imagine if Russia has tons of MALE drones like Wing Loong 2. That'd be sick taking out Ukrainians left and right.
