I remember when lysychansk fell rather than seize the initiative and chase Ukraine forces to overwhelm siversk he announced a pause in the war.
He was even shown congratulating the forces saying they needed a holiday, giving Ukraine time to fortify their positions in this area.
I thought it was weird to do that at the time even rather arrogant and lacking respect of an enemy that is actively trying to destroy you with help from an immensely more powerful enemy.
Of course, they never reached Siversk a crappy village of a thousand or two at best
In fact, the whole mission Russia has shown huge military incompetence and lack of awareness, here`s some: -
1 sailing their flagship main missile boat so close to enemy shoreline,
2. the astonishing dumbness in not sorting out short term military contracts situation causing the drop in manpower causing the fall of Kharkov region
3. Not mining or fortifying Kharkov region allowing the enemy to walk in with a few old tanks & ISIS like Toyotas
4. Driving around up in Nikolaev region & Kiev back in march diluting your forces when the main target is the Donbas which is being shelled at the time
5. Stupid 5d chess talk when its obvious to anyone with any intelligence your forces not getting anywhere
I heard Putin is not going to G20, which while wise from a safety perspective, again makes him look stupidly weak in front of the global south. No doubt green T shirt man will be there to promote the oil cap & persuade India & rest to dump Russia.
It’s a possibility you may see a weak Putin clinging onto power of a weakened Russia ending up like an isolated Russian Saddam Hussain, someone Russians will have to put up with for a decade or so prisoner of his situation. By which time Russians will be so fed up of all of it they`ll be a ripe for a US backed new Yeltsin.
