The end?

Guardian reporting Izium has been liberated. Let's hope ALL of Ukraine - including Crimea - is liberated soon. And the dictator is killed
Don't think it will be happening this year... Guardian also reportung Russia sending more troops to the Eastern frontline

From my info, the Russian troops are only going one way and that is home for some babushka borsch. Not sure what this means for those trapped in Kherson or what it means for the Crimea.

There is definitely a total change today. Some really ***ed off that Moscow is celebrating its birthday while soldiers are getting battered in Kharkiv oblast. Russian media openly talking of defeat. The political dissent from deputies.

There's nothing on twitter about these ***ed off elite forces heading for Moscow but photos on Telegram accounts according to my source, who has contacts in Moscow and on the Ukrainian front line.
Time will tell.
 
For what its worth, have a watch of some 1420 clips on youtube, i hope it gives an insight into how normal Russians feel .
It will take a lot of brave people to stand up but hopefully they can make it. The World would certainly be a better place with a democratic Russia in it. The ordinary people are certainly no different from you and I

Indeed. I have followed a few Russian channels for some time (from before the current war). I like Survival Russia. Bald and Bankrupt (not Russian but was in Russia before he got booted out recently), Inside Russia, Travels with Russell and a couple of bonny lasses.

The Ukrainians who supported Russia and were given new Russian passports are being blocked from crossing the border into Russia.

They will be expected to go on the frontlines and try to defend, that’s why

They’ll essentially become cannon fodder . They’re best off surrendering.

I suspect the Ukrainian media blackout has ended . Let the Russian soldiers hear of the Ukraine advances and instil panic. Panic generates routing

Let’s be honest , there is like a 5-10% chance Putin is toppled in Russia

The evil **** is too popular. Reckon 55-60 % of the population would vote for him if t they were allowed a legit election . He also has too much of a stranglehold on government

I’m not so sure, the younger generation who are more social media savvie are a changing demographic, I don’t think it is out of the question now.
 
Could history be repeating itself:

Delete as applicable.

On Christmas Day 1942, Radio Moscow broadcast a simple message to the members of General Friedrich Paulus’s 6th Army besieged in the city of Stalingrad. To the background sound of a ticking clock came the message: “Every seven seconds a German soldier dies in Russia. Stalingrad is a mass grave.”

True , but Russia has an aging demographic . So more elderly support Putin . A lot of anti war anti Putin people have just left the country .

There is a strong pro Putin element in the older population and more rural Russians
