With Russia unable to defend its western border and reports of a Ukrainian offensive in Bakhmut, TASS publishes a list of peace proposals. IMO evidence the Kremlin in chaos and Putin is terrified. Link.

  1. I thought so too until I read this article

    Every Block Is Another Battle: Ukraine’s Latest Eastern Stand
    Outnumbered, outgunned, out-tanked, Ukraine is putting up a scrappy defense of Marinka, another city near Bakhmut that is a few blocks from falling.

  2. Is this all ruse? Putin recently transferred tactical nukes to Belarus. So what if Prigozhin gets a hold of them and launces them. Putin would say a madman Prigozhin took control like he did when he tried to overthrow RU govt

    Is he going to open up a second front?

    Belarus would come under attack by NATO not RU

    Prigozhin is very successful in overthrowing govts. He knew what it would take, placing ppl & logistics in the right place, making sure he already had the commitment of forces needed in advance, the right conditions and timing all had to be perfect.

    He wanted RU forces out of UA. He wanted MOD and others removed. He opposed the strategy being used and the men being killed. All of his conditions were not met. He only weaken himself. Why

    To go back to Africa ?

  3. Putin ordered Prighozin killed earlier today. How does he walk that back? How does Prighozin survive after this? Putin never forgives nor forgets !! Belarus. He is still a main treat to him there. Putin has Russian troops there. Going to Belarus will not guarantee his survival. He is a major threat for Putin. Does Putin need him there for upcoming US elections?

    Or is this not a coup by Prigozhin? This is an inner war between the St Petersburg gang of Putin and the Moscow gang of Gerasimov and Shoigu.

    This is the beginning of Putin‘s election campaign to become reelected on March 17, 2024.

    OR

    His lapdog Prigozhin is masquerading a coup to put the blame on Gerasimov and Shoigu for losing the war against Ukraine. Prigozhin can always be scapegoated if he fails like this has happened in the past.
