More likely the Russians pulled out their troops back to Russia for there military show they had recently.
Whatever it was, it seems the Russian public on social media are angry about it, and want Putin to escalate.
But Putin will never know, because he doesn't even have a smartphone, let alone read social media.

That's not true X-D haha! He has not an ordinary smartphone, his phone is encyrpted and special...like the phone of nearly all presidents of the world. But I would lose my respect if Putin would have a Insta or twitter account. I think a lot of people would lose respect...he is not a degenerated third class US president!

Vladimir Putin still does not use smartphone, spokesman says
While Putin does occasionally use the Internet, the head of state does not have too much time, Dmitry Peskov said

Out of the losses the most were in Kharkov region...Kiev was kindergarden compared to Kharkov! Not that Russia lost all troops in Kharkov that's bullshit!

Misunderstanding...sorry!

Probably liberal and Navalny deputies ordered out of the woodworks to act in concert with the Western psyops offensive

Anyone go the names of said politicians? Will be interesting to take a look

Otherwise, pay the white noise no mind, as Martynov would say

And a su-34 seem also to have crashed in Crimea.

Quote from article
We saw a foretaste of this last night, when Russia wiped out over half of Ukraine’s power generation with a few missiles. There are many more targets that they can go after - more nodes in the electrical grid, water pumping and filtration facilities, and higher level command posts. There is at least some probability that Russia begins targeting the command facilities with NATO personnel in them.

A source in Kyiv reports that Zelensky has asked NATO to establish a no-fly zone over Ukraine - thereby trying to draw the alliance into direct hostilities against the Russian Federation; at the same time, he requested from the United States the supply of long-range missiles (range up to 300 km) for HIMARS for the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

Placement on the territory of Ukraine of the Patriot air defense system with combat crews of NATO countries - casus belli.

This is like the 10th time already he has asked for a NFZ.  NATO keeps denying him cause they dont want to get involved directly but rather indirectly to state deniability.

That was 5 months ago. There hasn't been a word about that idea for months. It is worth mentioning that they openly brought it up again. And this time it will get even more support. Because the NATO publics and politicians are in a war frenzy. They've had a taste of success thanks to Russia fighting with 2 hands behind it's back.

But if you want to believe that NATO will do something stupid like that, especially when Russian systems would have a huge advantage due to proximity, then that is entirely on you.  I wouldn't lose sleep over it though.

Edit: remember, everyone including US politicians demanded a NFZ in Syria against Russia, where the west would have an advantage, and they didn't go for it. But will do it for Ukraine to which Russia could strike at nato jets in Ukraine from Russia? So what will NATO do then? Strike Russia directly prompting total war?

Sad to say but if NATO got involved, Russia would get destroyed. Thank God for nukes though. That will keep them out.
