The Russian war goals again:

1. Russia's goal is to conquer at least parts of Ukraine
2. Russia relies on historical rights to Ukrainian territory
3. Ukraine has no rights during the negotiations

Denazification? NATO threat? All bullshit.

 

'Naryshkin invited historians from several countries to discuss the  rights of Ukrainian territory

The chairman of the Russian Historical Society (RIS) and director of the foreign secret service of the Russian Federation, Sergei Naryschkin, proposed to discuss the rights to Ukrainian country with the participation of historians from different countries.
...
And we will try to invite historians from other countries, from Poland, from Hungary, from Slovakia, ”Mr. Naryshkin told TASS and answered a question about the possible future of the division of the territory of Ukraine. Sergei Naryshkin pointed out that the topic had a profound background and needed a detailed consideration.

Previously, the Russian presidential assistant Nikolai Patruschew expressed the opinion that Ukraine could stop in 2025 as a state. He believes that negotiations on the Ukraine question should only be conducted between Russia and the United States. '

It would be correct to have the Russian republic of the Ukraine return to Russian control.

This Mondey i have used opportunity to chat with this foreman (as they were hired again, this time to carry foldable chairs from the basement to the loading point) - as far as i understand, most of the team are students, but he himself is in Russia with official working visa (he even produced this visa to me).

Everything is strictly according to plan. Just a short effort and then the victory comes.
From a Moscow online newspaper:

'Lack of Personnel, defaults, credit debts.' Economists speak of the bankruptcy wave that the Russian industry captures
...
The economic situation in Russia continues to deteriorate and analysts of the Center for Macroeconomic Analysis and Short-Term Forecasting warn of a possible massive increase in corporate insolvencies...
...
According to the forecasts, all negative trends I have talked about will be long -term nature ...
...
No state support helps

...
Doctor of economics ans professor of the Russian Economic University, Juri Ljandau Plechanow, is confident that all support measures will be ineffective as long as Russia maintains gigantic credit.

The Moscow are often very reserved with reader comments. But they are not here. And the comments are full of biting mockery.

More business that are not needed for the war effort going bust is positive, as it focusses the resources on the war effort and frees up manpower.

My congratulations, you have just discovered the facts i was saying about here for long time: Russian Gov can't pronounce real aims of the war since it will require them, first and foremost, to acknowlege the fact they themselves for many decades were acting as West colonial administration, and it would enevitebly lead to public asking the quiestion "Why should we tolerate you at helm anymore?"

Dont ask us, he's your Trotsky, not ours.

Mine? I do not remember ever claiming this man is representing me in any sense. More over, i have repeatedly said Dugin is mostly unknow in Russia (or was unknown before his daughter was assacinated by Western agents), his views and theories are of very little traction here as he is too much trying to balance between pleasing ruling elite of RF and maintaining sort of contacts with Western "collegues".

The roots are not in 2014 but in 1991 (or even earlier, as by 1991 USSR was allready ideological ruin run by people eager to divide it into own feuds).

"Four former top managers of Rusnano have been detained in Moscow, including three former deputies of Anatoly Chubais*.

Security forces detained former executive director Boris Podolsky, as well as Director of Finance Artur Galstyan. The reason for the detention is theft totaling 45 billion rubles." https://t.me/infomil_live/14530

In 2014, Russia attacked Ukraine with the Russian armed forces for the first time. The roots are that the Kremlin under the leadership of Putin is convinced that Ukraine is a property of Russia.

Russian commanders held three Katsaps in a pit, and when they came out, two of them were stabbed by their own men.

Soldiers in the video belong to the 1437th regiment of the Russian armed forces. According to their relatives, they were taken away in an unknown direction on the night of January 3 and are now being searched for.

The root started when the Ukraine was stolen at the end of the Soviet Union.

We discussed for 10 years before the war why NATO needed to avoid a conflict in Ukraine.  I didn't gain in all those years any impression that you were taking the risk of NATO triggering Russian expansionism seriously. 

Are you taking the risks seriously now?

The Problem is not Nato expansion, it's Russian expansion. 11 years of directing your intellect at the problem, and you still don't seem to grasp the essentials.

Ah, Stuart, yet another poster around here that was all for taking risks in Ukraine before the war and now doesn't seem happy with the wreckage of his own policy wishes....

The choice in 2014 was to put Ukraine on ice and wait for Putin to die.  Obama with Putin was smart enough to understand, and Trump with Putin was also smart enough as well.  But then Biden and Zelensky got in and things, well, things then took the course that they took.

Once again, flair your nostril hair all you like, you still cannot grasp Ukraine is defending European freedom and its own. For all your flailing about NATO, Europe has not invaded Russia, and Russia has invaded Europe. Its that simple.People have died you sanctimonious prig, they are actual people, not pawns on a board you can throw under a bus in a fit of pique.

Anyway, it matters little what you believe. Putin is clearly dying, and Russia I suspect will soon follow him.

"Kremlin under the leadership of Putin" do not care about "property of Russia" (see how they were de-facto donating Russian resources to West over decades). More over, significant part of people who were taking decisions in 2014 are now enjoying life abroad - see Chubais for example. But people in Kremlin have to comply with the fact active majority of Russians see "Ukraine" as it is - as part of Russia. That is why they were unable to abandon public movement in 2014 completely on its own.
