The Russians are very pragmatic and not much concerned for theater. EU would get the message loud and clear. I keep hearing from Colonel MacGregor that Putin is a restraint on the public demand for stronger action on Ukraine. Nobody in the West understands that Putin's success metric is the number of dead or defeated Ukrainian soldiers, not square kilometers of territory. First: eliminate Ukraine's military potential. Second: do whatever you want.
The Colonel was being interviewed by a Dutch journo. Twice he had to set him straight. According to the Col. Ukraine have lost 1.5 million men and Russia 120,000 men. Those Zelenskyy thugs that are dragging men of any age and capabilities off the streets are now themselves being targeted and the people are fighting back. What has changed?? The prisoner exchange. Those lucky enough to be captured by the Russians are letting their fellow Ukrainians know. Now since their release they are shouting it from the rooftops when they get home.
Please. What an inane comment. If he was dead, we’d be in WW3.
No, but all of Ukraine would be burning.
Agree and possibly EU.
