Related, Putin also mentioned a few days ago that the Russian city of Odessa will be Russian territory again. Russia isn't planning on stopping at the Dnieper river.
May 9th is Victory Day in Russia. It's widely anticipated that the Russian offensive will accelerate after the holiday.
elensky canceled elections in Ukraine, but will still lose legitimacy when his term of presidency ends on May 21st.
fun fact: Zelenskis mandate runs out in like 18 days or so... He will no longer legally be the "head" of the government.
No one knows what the hell is going to happen, but vegas odds makers put it at about 21 minutes after midnight on the 21st, the russians headhunt him with iskanders, since he'll no longer be a "countries leader"
The ruskies are moments away from starting the greatest summer offensive... almost 350k troops are amassed...
We'll all see...
Edit: I'm catching up on the daily tactical reports and it sure feels like the assaults have started. major action in the middle of the line today. Still can't tell if it's just hard "recon by combat" or if the assaults have started....
Putin has a lot of issues, but also contrasts with the rest of the 'ranchers'. He's pro moslem and jew, but anti homo and tranny. Probably his best aspect is weakening our local oppressors, even if he's not our friend.
Islam is a major religious minority in the Russian Federation, which has the largest Muslim population in Europe. According to the US Department of State in 2017, Muslims in Russia numbered 14 million or roughly 10% of the total population.
Religion in Russia · Russian Orthodoxy (41.1%) · Other Christians (6.3%) · Muslims (6.5%) · Neopagans and Tengrists (1.2%) · Buddhists (0.5%) · Other religions (0.7%).
Maybe "pro" is too strong? At least tolerant, since Russia has some large moslem regions. He wasn't too thrilled about their terrorism though. He recently gave something like 'warm wishes' to jews in a public video over some jew holiday.
