This prisoner swap is a very tough morale killer for the Russians fighting within Ukraine. A rich friend of Putin gets traded for high ranking “Nazi” leaders that the Russians are there to exterminate. This completely unfolds Putin’s narrative of denazification.
That was quick..
12 hours after these heads of state meet with Putin, Kyrgystan begins shelling Tajikistan.

The Kremlin is trying to stamp out enemies and this is an old Stalinist trick, an old Bolshevik trick.
They would take advantage of something to crush your political opponents, even if they had nothing to do with it.
The Kremlin's rhetoric is everybody’s out to get us.
The world is going to crush Russia. NATO is trying to destroy us. The US, the UK, Ukraine are all part of this alliance to destroy Russia.
But then Moscow won’t mobilise and they won’t put their population under arms.
