EU Nations getting gas and oil from Russia have said to Putin's demand to pay in rubels or else...... to fuck off. Go ahead turn off the gas and oil and cut off the one source of revenue that allows you to continue to committ war crimes. That way the west won't have to embargo your ass.
..... and yes the Russian Army is "repositioning." Really? From a doctrinal standpoint, their executing a tactical withdrawal. The press is characterizing the circumstance as a means to "regroup for more attacks."
Maybe. But more likely they lack the capacity at home to bring crushed units back to combat readiness then logistically support a broad based repeat of what they fucked up one time already 6w ago.
Multiple sources I'm studying from outside the MSM are consistent in these areas:

Multiple sources I'm studying from outside the MSM are consistent in these areas:
- (1) Forces the Russian Army fielded 2m ago to attack Ukraine are poorly led causing hi ranking field and flag ranked officers to go forward to lead and then get famously killed with news of those deaths being conspicuously announced by the Ukrainians.
- (2) C3, an absolute essential component of massing combat power, is shit. Either they don't know how to do that on this scale (see above) or their com equipment sucks. More likely, a combo of both.
- (3) Failed attacks demonstrate an incapacity to coordinate combat power to seize terrain - what they set out to do. They can, as a default position, fire artillery rounds indiscriminately and bomb civilians from the air.
- (4) Russian troop morale is shockingly low based on several documented instances including Niedermeyer fragging, refusal to advance against what those disobeying orders consider fellow Russians in Ukraine and just recently shooting down one of their own airplanes on a bombing run allegedly on purpose.
- (5) Problems conscripting replacements in Russia and allegedly bringing foreigners who were thought to be interested in fighting for Russia.
- (6) Possibly the most telling is bringing poorly maintained equipment positioned in reserve warehouses in side Russia to the front.
