Next thing is to wreck refinery and underground gas storage places and make them rely completely on EU imports. You kill two flies with one shot. Drain Europe of more needed energy and push Ukraine deeper in debt.
Not insignificant is that they don't have enough diesel locomotives. Plus, you can always destroy some in train depots.

Did they hit the EU leading grids indeed?
Now that is what I call a change.

By the way, in a case, you have missed that. It is a material RAK published today.

It is one of his most powerful entrances.

First, he asks why the Chechen people are so devoted to the whole Russkie family.
Because of freedom and respect, they get back.
A chance to build mosques, cheer the god they admire, and do that while being a part of a vast family of free nations that stand side by side for each other.
Nobody who watched and participated in the Chechen conflict as I had, would imagine that change.

You should live for values you can die for.

War that Russia started in Ukraine will not be won, Russia is running out of options and its leadership is still extremely arrogant and way over confident, so the fall into reality will be more hard I am afraid.

From pure militaristic point, once one shuts down emotions, Ukrainian execution past two months is simply brilliant and Russian forces were totally outmaneuvered, outstretched and outfoxed - that is simple hard truth and situation on the front reflects that.

Be aware that Ukraine will now get more united and resolute. Their goal and position is simple- Russian forces are invading army into the teritory of soverign country, it will be kicked out and its staying on the Ukrainian soil is non negotiable. They will not give a crap what Russia will say about that and will fight till their land is free. That is message sent to Russia from the day one and Ukraine is delivering to that promise.

Who gives a crap what they give a crap about?

They will run out of cannon fodder to chuck into the furnace. It's that simple. And they are not Vietnamese or Afghans to out-breed the enemy. They are a country and people that has fallen entirely into Anglo-sponsored hedonism and worship of the leading empire on the planet; because of the greed of their elites and their acquiescence to an 'anti-Russia' role set up for them by the US since 1991.
There is no religion, no belief, no grand ideas in that society - other than the racial supremacy extremism championed by nationalists and bankrolled by oligarchs. Other than that, it's basically just the worship of the US dollar, and anything goes. Prostitution, surrogacy of children for childless American couples, hired crowds for oligarch-politicians, thugs for hire and so on.
Such a society was in deep crisis, even before the war. If there is unity, then it is based only on the whipping up of hatred by said nationalists. But that can't last. Evident when Ukrainian soldiers fall into captivity, they turn out to be quite reasonable people and all silly ideas quickly evaporate. Same with Kherson's population. No more pro-Ukr protests there; they're getting more and more used to life in the rouble-zone.

I will agree you about Russia not having clear military goals. It's something I noticed as well right from the beggining. But to be frank - with such casualty ratios it doesn't matter. As long as Russian morale doesn't falter, the Russian economy doesn't collapse, or a horde of 6th column chicken littles don't topple Putin for not fighting the war the way they believe it should be fought based on all those RTS games and so on - then Russia will win the war

Speaking of the chicken littles in this thread.
Have you all calmed down now? Russian command will decide themselves when to throw their left hook followed by a knockout blow. Not you will decide, they will decide. If you have a problem with that, go sign up to the military and attend officer academy, for a start. Then argue with your commanders and instructors there about who knows better.

About the Russian strikes on power-plants - they don't make sense as punitive or retaliatory, de-escalation strikes or whatever. That's a waste of time - all retaliation should be concentrated on the ones doing the fighting; the Ukrainian army, mercs and the nationalist battalions.
But what they do make sense for is to create an information-blackout and paralyze train transportation of manpower and materials ahead of an imminent offensive. Fingers crossed

If Russia wants to loose half of all the aircrafts to Ukraine air defence, sure go for it.

For once I actually agree with you

What kind of idiot will send planes up into the air to possibly be ambushed by Ukrainian AD systems still in hiding all just to attack static targets that any cruise missile can take out at 0 risk?

Yeah I listened to that speech earlier as well

Kadyrov certainly earns his keep. Zero criticism of him anymore in Russia, all his many internet critics and naysayers have shut up. Yeah you can whine about the billions or whatever, but Kadyrov used that money to make Grozny a beautiful modern city and Chechnya as the fastest developing federal subject of the North Caucasus.
And tourism to Chechnya has picked up, now it's regarded as still a quirky place but a part of Russia. Social attitudes towards Muslims in general have improved because with Europe all hating on us - who do we as a society turn to next other than Asia and the Muslim world?
