I don't think that after the debacle that's been going on in Ukraine even Putin believes there's an ice cube's chance in hell of defeating even a single NATO country. NONE. Russia ain't going anywhere. Their conventional forces would be annihilated and Putin now knows that. His pipe dreams of a re-expanding Russian empire went poof on day three of the invasion.
The Ukrainian survivors who have lost their loved ones, limbs, eyesight, sanity, homes, and livelihoods will be so relieved to hear that. I’ll do what I can to pass the message.
Have you considered that they might have died from Covid vaccines or snakes? Sure, it might have looked like a death from an explosion, but maybe a snake got them right before the bomb hit.

Serhii Volyna, commander of Ukraine's 36th Separate Marine Brigade, the steel plant is “completely surrounded.” “There are about 500 wounded military, it is very difficult to provide them with medical care. They literally rot,” he told CNN on Tuesday. “There are civilians on the territory. They are also suffering from explosions, blasts on them, next to them. They [the Russians] use heavy aircraft bombs against us and strike with artillery." Officials say hundreds of civilians are sheltering in the basements of the plant -- which previously employed 10,000 people -- and a Mariupol police official told CNN that food and water supplies were dwindling amid the heavy bombardment.

Obviously these were soldiers or Nazis & not, in fact, zoo keepers. *sarcasm* cnn live "Zoo employees who stayed behind to care for animals found dead: Two employees of a zoo in Kharkiv who stayed behind last month to take care of animals amid heavy shelling from Russian forces were found dead, the zoo said in a statement Tuesday.

More sham referendums incoming. Cnn live "Sham referendums: The council claims Russian forces are planning to hold sham referendums in occupied territory, similar to those carried out in the separatist-held parts of Donetsk and Luhansk regions in 2014. Earlier this week, Russian-backed separatist leader Denis Pushilin said that the separatist Donetsk People's Republic would support a Russian-occupied district in the Zaporizhzhia region. Pushilin alleged that Zaporizhzhia had made "an appeal" to secede from Ukraine and join the breakaway republic. Ukrainian officials have said Russian forces appear to be preparing for a similar sham referendum in southern Kherson region."
Parents of missing/killed sailors angry. Ukraine set up a hotline for Russian families to find out about loved ones.
