@RubizhBrigade On X we see heaps of drone footage with single Russian soldiers walking around, almost like they're lost or fogotten. Is this the small groups you mention?
@ravdeeX@BohuslavskaKate You're right that Ukraine was handicapped by NATO and USA restrictions, but in 2022 it was an uncertain and high-risk scenario. Putin's bluff was strong, nuclear rattling paid off. Many can only feel safe saying it now.
@cold_skeptic It's just KGB doctrine, never admit fault, never show weakness. Once you see through that and recognize the long-term consequences of sticking to this path, its a failing strategy, the denial has become a liability.
