it will also go against his motive for the war, ie to stop Ukraine from being a western "vassal". even if he annexed it, the rest of Ukraine and the world will not recognize it.

What I would do if I was Zelensky:

- Recognise the annexed parts of Russia and convince the West to do so also.

- Then apply for a fast-track entry into NATO.

Regardless of how you look at it, Putin took the bigger L.

fax, the west will likely implement a version of the "marshal plan" which will rebuild the rest of Ukraine. i don't think putin will negotiate tho.

Do you think he's going to use tactical nukes?

If he annexes the Donbass and Ukraine continues to counterattack, I see Putin threatening tactical nukes.

However, I don’t think we will see a situation where they will actually be used.

As much as I am anti-Russia, Putin isn’t as crazy as Trump and knows the consequences of using nukes.

We will most likely see a game of chicken if Russia annexes the Donbass.

i honestly don't believe that. i believe Putin wanted to cut the head of the snake by capturing the capital but didn't prevail. if he wanted the southern and eastern parts only, he could had them since the donbass is already almost controlled by the rebels. besides, why lose men if you only want the eastern section.
The Russian casualties sustained in the Kyiv Offensive aren't confirmed and I wouldn't take the Ukrainian claims seriously. Either way, you're always going to have losses in a real war, this isn't a game it's real life.

Napoleon when he invaded Russia defeated the Tsar's armies numerous times, especially at the Battle of Borodino. The French sustained huge casualties in almost every engagement despite taking Moscow itself. Napoleon's armies eventually retreated and the Russians counter-attacked and drove him out of their country.

War isn't always about winning but how much you can endure until you get the chance to win.
 
Mobilization in the Russian Federation begins today. Only men with military experience/training are liable for service.

“All means of destruction, including nuclear ones, will be used in case of a threat to the territorial integrity of Russia, this is not a bluff. The peaceful solution did not suit the West. After reaching certain compromises, Kyiv was actually given a direct order to disrupt all agreements.” - Putin

“The government of the Russian Federation must immediately solve the problems of financial support for the defense industry in order to increase the production of weapons,” - Putin

“The legal status of volunteers and militiamen of Donbass should be the same as that of regular Russian military personnel” - Putin

"Issues of supply and maintenance of the People's Militia and volunteer units of Donbass must be resolved immediately and provided at the highest level." - Putin

Virtually every man in russia has military experience due to mandatory military service.

It’s a nicer way of saying, we’re calling up conscripts.

The gloves are coming off.

Russia has announced the mobilisation of 300,000 reserves. Russia has 25 million reserves (people that have essentially gone through some military training in their lives). This will be in addition to the 100-150,000 soldiers that are currently active in Ukraine.

This should take a couple of months and in that time we should see an escalation. We'll likely see wide scales attacks on Ukrainian infrastructure (power stations, bridges, rail etc.).

There are rumours that Ukraine is going to launch a final push. This would be interesting to see.
