He is a Russian asset. I think they got to him when he was an inspector there.

Yes, he is a moron. He has been 100% wrong on basically everything Ukraine related since the beginning and writes for RT. He is quite literally a propagandist.

100%

On a side note, I recently heard that UKR stopped sending the West troops to train for a bit as they need them. As an added carrot, the West is fleshing them out with gear as they head back to UKR. They are back to sending troops again.

Training 200k troops will be rough.

Russia is suddenly realizing that they depend completely on Western technologies.

At 0:28 i think old grey communist warns the guy speaking, though his words aren't translated. I see a massive cry of dissent. Or i am seeing what i want to see.

Zelensky said he "received signals" from Western allies that Russia's Vladimir Putin would like to hold direct negotiations with Ukraine.

"I received signals that Putin wants direct negotiations," he said. "I proposed a public forum because Russia is waging a public war."

Zelensky really wants it to be a russian rocket as he is hoping it pushes for more NATO involvement. I cant blame him. I get the feeling though NATO does not want to escalate and are willing to sweep this under the rug.

Don't f with the tractor warriors, I think they have more armor than the Russians now.

Yea, seems like it wouldn't be the best call to start WWIII because a rocket, regardless if it was Russian or Ukrainian, flew off course and hit a tractor in a field.

yeah, Obviously NATO doesn't want to escalate. Nobody wants this thing getting further out of control. It will have to be something a lot more than a single missile which may have simply gone off target for people to want to risk WW3.

If I give him the benefit of the doubt I'm betting he has extreme concerns about stockpiles, production capacity to replace and update those stocks and what will happen if we need them in the Pacific. If that isn't the reason, the only other thing I can say is he should be cautious of an active war on a NATO border(s). After that he's a schmuck. He's proven that he's that anyway but that doesn't mean that there aren't reasons why a political solution would be in the US's favor at some point. Even if it's not in the Ukes.

Thats 160 KM from the Dnipro river 170KM from Kherson.
This city and one just to the south has been hit back in August I think electric station and massive ammo/equipment staging area on RR.

Belgian minister of defense confirms that it was an intercept and not a misfire or overshoot.

Based on current information, the strikes in #Poland seem to be a result of Ukrainian air defense. Pieces of Russian missiles and a Ukrainian interception missile are said to have landed in Poland. To be confirmed by ongoing investigations.

Wow, at 4:07, there's a mobik just laying into a commander of some sort about the poor training they're getting. Firing at imagination targets, pretending they have guns in their hands, about 30 bullets to train with, and more. This is embarrassing.

Lots of Russian State TV madness in this episode.

At 10:38, we get some whining from Russian State TV, [url=https://roscongress.org/en/speakers/solovev-vladimir/biography/][/url]Solovyev complains that Ukraine has struck Belgorod, as if it's out of nowhere. He seems to think it's fine to hit Ukrainian cities and expect no retaliation.

At 14:06, we see a discussion in a roundtable-style discussion on Russian State TV that includes someone openly criticizing Russia's failures and not treating this war like it should be treated.

At 16:02, the discussion features a guy that we've seen a few times, if you regularly watch StT. He gets it. The dehumanization and disregard for the Ukrainians that the Russians display pisses off the Ukrainians even more. He's strongly rebuked by another one of the commentators.

At 19:58, they have a Colonel-General in the Russian Army on Solovyev's show. He somehow claims it's a sign of victory that Russia has already done a partial mobilization. I guess those initial Cargo 200 from most of the last 8.5 months were just a funny joke.

At 23:11, Rob mentions that the Ukrainians are making a little progress towards Svatove, but the weather is turning miserable--cold, rainy, and miserable. The forecast is not looking great for the next 1.5-2 weeks, it seems.

Map updates at 24:31. The Russians on the Eastern side of the Dnipro River in the Kherson region have taken some proactive measures and have shifted troops back to try to shorten the supply chain and attempt to protect them from rocket artillery. Not much else in terms of map updates at the moment.

Not disputing that Milley is a political hack, but he is saying that Russian withdrawal from Crimea would be a basis for a political solution, which I suspect Zelenskiy would jump at if it happens. Crimea is much more valuable to Ukraine strategically than the Donbas

Would Ukraine willingly write off the Donbas, though? That's major agricultural and industrial land, if I'm not mistaken.

If it's just the portion that was previously "LPR/DNR separatist" territory then hell yes they would. Which is why Russia would never go for it. Russia won't accept any compromise that involves them losing anything they've already claimed as theirs.
