Think it had more to do with minimizing domestic unrest.

"Special (and limited) operation to liberate Ukrainians from Nazis" is a lot harder to protest against than "We will kill our Ukrainian brothers and sisters, for no good reason".

Putin writes the law in Russia. He's not afraid of it, he wields it as a weapon.

Sounds like you are agreeing with me, he uses the legal framework as a backing for what he wants to do and doesnt just dismiss it out of hand.

We all know its a show trial but that is besides the point.

They can't fight in conventional battles. They resort to terrorising civilians with prohibited explosives.

As in Syria

Funnily enough, I just saw this.

The USA considers transferring the tanks to Ukraine, but under certain conditions

The United States might be supplying Ukraine with modern tanks. However, first, the Ukrainian servicemen should learn to use and maintain them

mil.in.ua

That may be the same rumour. I was just pointing out the US had a lot of M1s in storage that haven't been there for long so their spin up time may be shorter.

What is the best YT channel to follow for some up to date combat footage?

Don't worry, the TEC (Taliban Electoral Commission) will take care of everything. They are true professionals. The only reason the UN doesn't recognize them is because they are jealous of their manly beards and ability to sleep on stage during press conferences.

Future collapse of RU​

Russian leadership transfers 25 bln dollars to Turkey, preparing for the internal collapse of Russia. Similar actions took place in 1917 and 1991.

So Russia has admitted it is losing the war and will now escalate.

How does that sit with their supporters? Who deny they are losing and deny that Russia is responsible for escalation?

This is one of the rare occasions that I actually agree with Putin. The Ukrainians have had great success with all the weapons they captured from Russia:

It is pretty amazing how just a few months ago everyone thought the tank was dead in modern warfare but it turns out Russia just sucks, because the Ukrainians are having loads of success with those exact same tanks (literally).

Observers friendly to Russia - so North Korea, China, Iran etc to observe.
Nothing beats the fox looking after the hen house.

They do not have total control of Luhansk or Donetsk, do they envisage sending officials to there.

If they do... Those officials would fully deserve some HIMARS attention for their troubles. That would be the appropriate response to anyone involved in this disgusting "referendum".

 

[sefeddt]

Russian getting desperate.

In country with around 150 million they outsource their combatants to poor areas, prisoners and now this.
