Why Russia is losing this war?
First I'll discuss why Russia *is* losing. Then I'll give my version of how it could happen. The key to understanding lies in the Soviet/Russian military doctrine. It gives context for current events and helps to predict further Russian actions🧵
How sanctions are killing Russia?
Russia's falling. Old sanctions of 2014 sabotaged development of new innovative weaponry. New sanctions of 2022 are undermining Russian military efforts, destroying its technological chains and communications lines, thus breaking country apart🧵
Hence policy recommendation. Open the green corridor. Many Russian soldiers would actively look for the ways out but they don't want to sit in Ukrainian prison СИЗО which happens if they just surrender. So, open the corridor abroad to any poor warm country
If you read one piece on Russia/Ukraine today, make it this superb immersive visual explainer on Russia's military missteps and the determined Ukrainian resistance.

Personal decision for Sivakov to ride for 🇫🇷. Riders can hold multiple nationalities but must pick one for sport. Change normally means 2 admin points: takes >3 months + can't race at next Worlds after change... but UCI eased this for Russians & Belarussians wanting to swap.
