[It’s interesting that Dmitry Medvedev said this.]
Yeah, I noticed that too.......
Russia position is very bad.
Ukraine has not been overthrown, and now they have an angry an armed neighbor.
Ukraine will gain strength and capability.
Russia is depleting its inventory, which is large, and its economy is in peril.
Russia is now afraid that Ukraine will want its territory back, that was taken by force, against a treaty signed by Russia itself.
Despite what the ‘Russia supporters’ are saying, Russia is clearly now loosing. They may gain a few miles on the battlefield, but they have exposed their military as inept, lost many commanders, burned through equipment to quickly, crippled their economy, and now wait for the inevitable…..Ukraine taking back territory.
The threat here is clear. Russia can no longer win a conventional war it started, and will use Thermonuclear war to avoid further embarrassment. How about Russia consider another option, like restoring Ukraine territory, honoring the treaty they signed, and agreeing to peace. Putin is sick, he will take Russia down with him.
