This rings true. Russia will keep pushing, probing, testing.

Good to see them turning the screw on the shadow fleet and banning all Swift transactions with Russia - but should have been done sooner

I should coco
Ukraine strategy is very simple. Remove the ability of Russia to manufacture and supply kit to the front. It’s a tad difficult to fight a war without arms, ammunition and equipment.

Estonian journalist convicted of treason in Russian media case
Harju District Court found Estonian citizen and journalist Svetlana Burceva guilty of violating international sanctions and treason for contributing to Russian online publications, sentencing her to six years in prison.

From her name I would say she is an Estonian citizen with Russian heritage. Because that's not an Estonian name.

According to Steve Rosenberg today, Russian newspapers are reporting “alarming “ signals in the economy. Things must be bad if government controlled media is reporting in that way. It seems ( not surprisingly) that one of the few growth sectors is the defence industry.
Large numbers of oil refineries in Russia going up in smoke is clearly having an effect.

The total number of Russian casualties, both dead and injured, has topped one million.
This has happened in our lifetime. Not some world war way back in the past.
None of it needed to happen.

If we had told ordinary Russians about it, perhaps things would have been different.
But Putin has had decades, generations, to hone his skills of shaping and controlling the Russian public.
Part of me thinks that most Russians would be ok with that million, even if they believed it. So long as they didn't lose their own kids (?), all done for the glory of mother Russia. They have destructive tendencies.

I know what you mean. They are a warring nation. If they did believe they had lost a million sons, I have no doubt that Putin would use it to celebrate the million as heroes of Russia, like they did with the regiment of the missing on Victory Day. All carefully curated, and despite him sending them all to their deaths.

Rubio the next to attempt to crawl up Putins arse. Disgusting, thought he'd be one of the less extreme Russophile in Trumps cabinet
