Good to see reverse occurring.
Russia screwing up ukrainians.
Russia should consider annexing the baltic states after they conquered the entire southern Ukraine coast. That will ensure access to both southern and northern ports. Or minimum, insist on a Russian corridor to Kaliningrad.

Like I've always said, they are the lesser of two evils. Better a haphazard democracy than murderous authoritarian regimes.

When Vladimir Putin announced the “liberation” of Mariupol, he was at pains to stress that the move was aimed at preserving “the life and health” of Russian soldiers.
The leader’s painfully staged conversation in the Kremlin with his defence minister, Sergei Shoigu, was his first public intervention in the war at this tactical level and, to some observers, it reflected ordinary Russians’ concerns about the conflict.
“We must always think, but even more so in this case – about preserving the life and health of our soldiers and officers,” he told Shoigu, as if he had not risked the lives of these very men with his bloody invasion.
Announcing that Russian troops would not storm a holdout of Ukrainian resistance, the Azovstal steel plant, he instructed: “There is no need to climb into these catacombs and crawl underground through these industrial facilities.”
Adding to his supposed concern about the immediate welfare of Russian soldiers, he said: “Please submit proposals for awarding our distinguished soldiers for state awards.
“It is clear that in such cases it cannot be otherwise, these are different awards, but I want them all to know: in our understanding, they are all heroes, in the understanding of all of Russia.”
Putin was speaking as if the decision whether or not to “storm” the industrial plant was actually in his gift, or that he cared for the civilians trapped under the onslaught of heavy artillery.
After all, Russian forces have been at it for weeks now with little to show for their efforts besides nine exhausted battalion tactical groups and massive civilian misery.
Putin knows he needs those troops and, just as with those that made it back from the mauling north of Kyiv, it will take weeks for them to be in any shape at all to contribute to the effort in the Donbas.
Russia needs forces to strike the Donbas from the south. The east is protected, as far as Moscow is concerned; held by separatists with secure supply lines stretching to the Russian border.
The north is under pressure, particularly on the routes past Kharkiv, though the Russians are inching past the Ukrainian counterattacks.
But the west is open and Ukraine can still push troops and supplies towards the Donbas from Dnipro, so Putin needs troops to secure, and push up from, the south. He needed Mariupol finished, hence the sham congratulation of Shoigu for “taking control” of the city.
He tried to make it sound as a rare act of humanity. The reality is he cannot afford to lose any more troops.
Leonid Volkov, chief of staff to the jailed Russian opposition activist Alexey Navalny, said the film was a “revealing moment”.
“When Putin says something in public, it is almost always the result of the fact that the presidential administration took measurements of public opinion and came to the conclusion that now it is necessary to speak in order to earn political points.”
Public pronouncements by Putin are always only what they want to hear, Mr Volkov said, adding that the sudden order to halt the attack on Mariupol is proof there is no mass support for the war in Russian society.
The bizarre performance is notable for one other thing.
The appointment of General Aleksandr Dvornikov as the single commander in charge of all Russian forces was supposed to usher in an era of strategic clarity after the chaos of the opening weeks of this war.
That one of his first actions, having appointed a new military commander, was for Putin to issue direction on a tactical action so far below the level the Russian leader should involve himself with, shows either that he doesn’t trust his military chain of command, or that he doesn’t know how to use it properly.

No surprise here. German soldiers were prescribed methamphetamine during their blitzkrieg into Europe. Worked well initially until it fried their brains.
It's also been revealed that Hitler was prescribed a cocktail of uppers and downers by his personal physician to deal with stress throughout the campaign. Towards the end he became psychologically wrecked. I guess for zelensky it's Red Bull, cocaine and alcohol
