[nang2]

The problem is not that there is no money in Russia .....it's just that the wrong people have it.

Everyone agrees with this, even the wrong people.

Ukraine has every problem Russia does but worse. Their GDP per capita is far lower than Russia.

It has to be in order to connect Crimea and Donesk in land.

US skeptical of Russian claims it's scaling back the war in Ukraine

The Russians have been effectively defeated on the northern axis. Now it’s time to rout their withdrawal before these forces redeploy to the east.

Outside of long range missile or artillery strikes on Kiev, the Kiev offensive is over.

The original aims - all on Russian sites - were to cut Ukraine off from the sea and occupy the east from the Deneiper to the Russian border. No fly warnings were lodged until 8 March in the east and the rest of Ukraine until the first week of May, when the Russians expected it all to be over. They also had their 24 point list of "demands", which included Russian bases in Ukraine, amongst many others which were to be imposed. He had the Crimea and the west did nothing, but that's back on the table now. There is no way that th west can start trading with Russia again until Ukraine is happy with a peace deal and that will NOT include giving away Crimea. Putin is defeated, but he just doesn't know it.

What about east, UA forces are effectively isolated, soo both sides have received heavy blows. With Russian air dominance in Donbass, its gonna be costly for UA too reinforce them positions.

It's better to admit failure and redeploy.

It would suit Russians, if UA went on the offensive because them man portable anti air and armour are less effective.

Based on testimony of Ukrainians who live in Russia (as seen on YouTube), I think that majority of Russians really want the Soviet Union to be back. They think of Ukrainian nationalism as a disease that can be cured. Belarus for them is already fully ready to bring back Soviet Union.

Russian nationalism is largely ethno-nationalism. Russians are fully willing to trample and kill people in Ukraine who do not want to be part of their dream. I'm beginning to think that even if Russian state TV broadcasts the real toll of war on Ukrainian civilians, it will not convince the Russian nationalists to turn against the war. If this is true, then the failure to annex Ukraine to build the foundation of Slav kingdom will become a shock to these people.
