I saw a video on telegram of wild pigs (boars) feeding on the carcasses of dead Russian soldiers abandoned abandoned by their colleagues when fleeing Lyman. Those guys must have seen the videos too.

The Russians leave their dead and report them as MIA. Any family of a soldier reported as MIA will not get any compensations. This is why a lot of guys japa from Russia last month to avoid mobilization. The Russian defence ministry has been lying about the actual figure of deaths to avoid paying compensations. ...Brutalsky!

Iran continues to play a role in Putin's war in Ukraine.

Iran sold 2,400 Shahed-136 kamikaze UAVs to Russia, which will be used against Ukraine.

Iran is going to end up being very rich with this free promo that their drones are getting from Russia.

A lot of countries in the east will start making their orders

true but let's not assume the countries assisting Ukrainian defenders don't have equally devastating drones in their arsenal. The war from onset has taken a pattern of new Russian aggression and a corresponding forced Ukrainian response.

He wanted to take territories for bragging right as a great Russian leader but had to lie about demilitarization of Ukraine. If his goal was fear of Ukrainian militarization/Russian security, how is Ukraine's military strength now compared to before February 24?
Why is he settling for territories? If he could move thousands out of Kherson into Crimea, why did he try to take it. What happens to kyiv?
The contradiction are just too much. What about Russian speakers currently sleeping in tents across eastern Europe, are they better off than the ones he invaded to 'liberate'?
The man is near his grave, and is just having mad fun with European stability.

I don't think Putin is the bragging type!
I believe he puts Russia first in his analysis
The problem is Russia is intertwined all across eastern Europe
Also he does not want NATO expansion(this he was uccesful in at least check mating)
But the rationale to escalate war with Ukraine(although Ukraine was pressing for it) was full of too many assumptions.
The only reason left me to think is Russian expansion.and if it is an expansion this model was faulty and inadequate.
Now this war is like "pop corn"..it keeps rising in the cooking point
It is like"akara" it will turn brown or black

But if mathematically equations must balanced then the war is still a long war off

if he never wanted NATO closeness, why prioritize annexing Ukraine over weakening them. You are not addressing the obvious contradictions in stated goal and invasion reasons compared to actions. Why did he annex Crimea years before invading to annex more land?

It is extremely hard to sneak in propaganda for someone like that. His desperation is clearly giving him out.

Well Crimea was a master stroke!
When the political coup occurred in 2014.poroshenko pushed for enforcement of the contentious NATO referendum.hence, annexation of Crimea literally out a stumbling block to Ukraine's NATO ambitions.Then the Donbass civil war made it impossible
