Within Russia, the war has come under growing criticism as Ukraine has ramped up strikes inside the country and Russian casualties keep growing ... These deadly attacks are a 'sign of desperation' as Putin is realising he might not win the war.

Here is an Invidious alt for the video (4 min) inside the linked article.

Translation: Russian oligarchs/side despots growing tired of Putin’s approach. No idea what they want but it’s probably affecting their pockets and Vladdy boy might find himself on the wrong side of a window soon

    No need for a translation. We've been producing these articles since the war started. They couldn't bother to churn out more than three sentences for the length of the article. Barely a paragraph.

    "Let's see Donald Trump Vladimir Putin wriggle his way out of this one" is just the mantra western media cranks out when there's nothing exciting to report. Putin has been on the verge of defeat and ignominious removal from office going back to Maiden. He'll be on the verge of defeat for the next twenty years, at this rate.

    Understood. I don’t expect any war an insulated, yes-to-deathed leader of any country (US, Russia, etc.) has started to meaningfully or concisely end. I’d be more interested to hear of any news from any other country than those two, to be honest.
