Its almost like Putin, born and raised in the Cold War, and a Cold War counter-spy member of the KGB in the 1980's, fully understood how to kill a nation with a proxy war having watched it happen to the Soviet Union with Afghanistan.
Ukrainians are Cossacks and Tartars, both known for their bravery and boldness in war, but also their stupid-aggressiveness that leaves them easy to bait with the right strategic maneuvers.
That and the west is starting to seriously feel the pain of bankrolling AND fully supplying Ukraine's belligerent, aggressive war Ukraine started. So Putin is doing a strategic "retreat" giving Ukraine a chance to charge in declare a few "wins" so the West will then see "hope" and double down on the shipments bankrupting themselves further. It will also boost sagging Ukrainian morale so they will keep fighting instead of negotiate.
And he fully knows Western digbats will ship Ukraine all their cash reserves, all their possible debt load, and most of their fuel because they are convinced they can repeat Afghanistan vs the Soviet Union in Ukraine. Russia will then do nothing, ship no oil nor resources forcing the USA to fully support BOTH Europe and China, bleeding itself of every possible resource until it keels over. And exploit all of it to end the EU and the Biden Regime, forcing the west into system collapse to ensure western people revolt, thus meeting Putin's goal for Western EU/US regime change, or its economy comes to a hard stop and the West as we know it ceases to exist. At which point Putin will have command of the Eurasian continent, and Alliance with Russia will be the ruin's of the Eurozone's only hope for survival.
The sad part is the Azov with western weapons that probably came from our weapons manufacturers are going to walk back through those towns and rape and murder their own people for even slightly considering siding with Russia, or accepting aid, or collaborating in any way shape or form for that matter.
Two weeks from now, Zelensky, on why his entire frontline army is encircled in towns 50km from the Russian border:
"I did Nazi that coming, their actions in the regian have created quite a fuher"
🤣
🇷🇺🇺🇦 Overview of the situation in the north-east of the SMO zone.
For 4 days now, the enemy has been trying to break through the defensive line of the allied forces in the Liman direction. The Kyiv regime threw mechanized units into battle, which operate with the support of tanks. A crossing has been built across the Seversky Donets near Yapol, formations of the Kyiv regime are trying to cross the river, but are under constant artillery fire from the allied forces. Now Yampol and Krasny Lyman are in full control of our troops. The units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine are also increasing pressure in the area of Belogorovka not far from Seversk in order to pull part of the forces of the 2nd Corps of the LNR from Soledar, where the allies are operating successfully. The status of Svyatogorsk is not yet clear. But apparently the enemy managed to take control of part of the city. It should be noted here that even before the counteroffensive, Svyatogorsk was difficult to keep, since the enemy controlled the height on the left bank of the river.
The front line has also stabilized in the northeast of the SMO zone. Parts and formations of the Russian army, those that escaped the encirclement in Izyum and the reserves that were transferred by the Russian Ministry of Defense formed a defense line along the right bank of the Oskol River, and along the border with the Belgorod region. Kupyansk is divided into two parts, the western part is controlled by the forces of the Kyiv regime, the eastern part is controlled by the fighters of the Russian Army. Here, for now, the enemy is using rocket and cannon artillery. But it does not attempt to attack.
Reading between the lines in the news - there was a counterattack by the Ukrainians, it's bogged down, the Russians were able to escape from encirclement, there are many Ukrainian casualties and much destroyed equipment.
Hard to tell who's destroying the power plants but there are missile attacks on the power grid.
I'm thinking the russians are slow walking the war,to win the economic war against the west,

Well said,the economic war is the real war.

I'm having trouble believing this story. I just read that Russia is now bombing the hell out of Ukraine's electrical grid.
It's on RT news russian news in english.
Not much bombing according to Ukraine: https://liveuamap.com/

Thanks. I'll check RT out.
Winning peace in the Ukraine means financially destroying the United States.
Winning elections in the U.S. A. means winning peace in Ukraine. DS needs to go.
Winning elections in the U.S.A. means transfering billions to a lot of nazis in Ukraine.
Yes, if the wrong side wins.
Another feint to draw the Ukrainians to within range of their artillery
Yes, the Russians are trapping the not-z.
The sad part is the Azov with western weapons that probably came from our weapons manufacturers are going to walk back through those towns and rape and murder their own people for even slightly considering siding with Russia, or accepting aid, or collaborating in any way shape or form for that matter.
