Russia is rounding up migrants, asking for North Koreans to help, calling up reservists long retired, and pulling in fodder from all corners of Russia.

They are losing this battle and if Ukraine and the West can see this thru 2025 ( if no amicable peace is reached this year ) Russia will no longer be the country we all thought it once was. It will be a shell of its former self and economically ruined for a good many years to follow.

It's a war of attrition on all fronts and NATO is certainly in a good position. I'm highly skeptical on the US holding firm after some recent political moves. I think the rest of NATO could handle it from here if needed but the concern I have is China. The US holds much more leverage with China than Europe and if the US loses interest then China is likely extremely motivated to "help" Russia. By help, I mean support Russia to extract whatever they want from them.

China is already making moves on the minerals front:

Bought a distressed coal mine, and week before bought stakes in uranium mines in Kazakhstan.

China to buy Russian coal mine as it invests in country's weak economy

With Russia’s economy teetering and its invasion of Ukraine nearing the three-year mark, China is capitalizing.

the drone comes up road to left ( from south ) takes right on Bol'shaya to end, then finally over that "Farm" facility bottom right.

Gone. Completely destroyed. Every single structure is gone.

I'm more worried that the US will ease sanctions than stop sending aid. The sanctions are working and if it stays like this for the year, russia may be done for.

In other words, scale back, cut ties with the west, and give me time to regroup so I can try this again in a few years.

thats not negotiations or talks.

thats a vacation for each respective representative.

When the starting point for Moscow is a non-starter.

Slava seems to have good intel- but yeah i would hold off on popping champagne

They did liberate border town yesterday quite a ways from Sudzha so maybe things are moving steadily in Kursk. Lots of Telegram videos of RuAF getting pummeled in Kursk region.
