Russia Expert Fiona Hill Reveals How It Could All Go South For Putin
There's one unsung group the Russian president "probably has to worry about," the former National Security Council analyst said.
“I don’t think they care about the world of public opinion,” Hill added. “But if there’s not any movement on the ground, if that great convoy of tanks just basically runs out of gas and is just left there, and if they have to kind of lay waste to Ukraine to basically get a success … you might then start to get a backlash from those people who are thinking this has not gone as they intended.”

Get rid of Vlad and you will be well paid for your courage and sacrifice. Zelenskiy would be wise to move to the western Ukraine and still make the Russians think he is in Kyiv. Also they are moving to bolster western Ukraine and perhaps get Zelenskiy to operate from there eventually.

Russia wants list of weapons that will never be deployed in Ukraine, Lavrov says
Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov on Wednesday said Russia is demanding Ukraine demilitarize and will write a specific list of which weapons the nation cannot possess.
Lavrov said in an interview with Al Jazeera that "specific types of strike weapons must be identified which will never be deployed in Ukraine and will not be created," according to a text of the interview reviewed by Reuters.
The news comes amid a second round of talks between Russia and Ukraine on Wednesday. Russia is reportedly demanding the recognition of two breakaway regions in eastern Ukraine and also will also not give up the Crimean Peninsula, which the country seized in 2014.
On Tuesday, more than 100 diplomats at a United Nations conference in Geneva walked out on a speech from Lavrov, who accused Ukraine of human rights violations against Russian minorities, Al Jazeera reported.
Russia launched a large-scale invasion of Ukraine last week and on Wednesday claimed to have taken control of the first major city in the country, Kherson, which Ukrainian officials dispute.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, who has emerged as something of a war hero in the conflict, is pressing for a ceasefire and a withdrawal of Russian troops from Ukraine during the talks.
Zelenskyy has filed an application to include Ukraine in the European Union and has also alleged human rights abuses at the International Court of Justice.

Many in Russia will take up subsistence farming, the rural villages will be full again as people seek to survive. The economic damage has been done and with economic inertia, it will take a long time to get back to square one, even if it ends in a month. Uncle Joe is making mother Russia howl until she shits out mad Vlad.I stocked up on beets yesterday. I'm figuring Russia will stop exporting them and the price will go up.

- Russia and Ukraine on Thursday agreed on the need to set up humanitarian corridors to evacuate civilians trying to flee the conflict, in their first sign of progress on any issue since the invasion. On the frontlines, Russian forces increased pressure on Mariupol and Kharkiv after Kherson became the first Ukrainian city to fall. Follow our live blog for the latest developments.
- Russian President Vladimir Putin said Thursday the fight against “neo-Nazis” in Ukraine was going “according to plan”.
- Russia-Ukraine talks ended with some progress on the establishment of humanitarian corridors to evacuate civilians.
- French President Emmanuel Macron believes "the worst is to come" in Ukraine after a 90-minute phone call with Putin who appears intent on seizing "the whole" of the country, an aide to the French leader said.
- Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky on Thursday promised Ukrainians that damage to infrastructure inflicted by invading Russian forces would be repaired and that Moscow would foot the bill.
- In a news conference with foreign journalists, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said he believed some foreign leaders were preparing for war against Russia and that Moscow would press on with its military operation in Ukraine until "the end".
- Russian forces have taken over the Ukrainian city of Kherson, local officials confirmed late Wednesday, the first major urban centre to fall since Moscow invaded a week ago.
- One million people have fled Ukraine in the week since Russia launched its invasion, the United Nations said, amounting to the swiftest refugee exodus this century.
- Russian and Belarusian athletes will not be able to compete at the Winter Paralympics in Beijing, the International Paralympic Committee said on Thursday, a day after they announced that athletes from the two countries would be allowed to participate as neutrals, since “athletes were not the aggressors”.
- Russia’s defence ministry said 498 Russian soldiers have died and another 1,597 were wounded in Ukraine since the invasion began last week. Ukrainian military officials put the Russian toll much higher: 7,000 Russian servicemen killed and hundreds taken prisoner.
- The UN human rights office said 227 civilians were killed and 525 others were injured in Ukraine between February 24 to March 1. These are confirmed cases; the real death toll was “considerably higher”.
- Czech Republic to send additional military aid to Ukraine
The Czech Republic will send an additional military aid package worth 17 million crowns ($730,900) to Ukraine, including light weapons and ammunition rounds, the Defence Ministry said on Thursday.
The ministry said on its Twitter account the package included hundreds of machine guns or assault rifles and more than 100,0000 ammunition rounds from Czech weapons groups, such as CZG-Ceska Zbrojovka Group.
Czech Television reported the government had approved the package at a Thursday evening meeting.

Czechs allowed to fight for Ukraine
The Czech Republic's leaders agreed on Thursday that Czechs who will leave for Ukraine and help defend it against the Russian invasion will not face punishment.
"We can guarantee indemnity through a presidential reprieve," Prime Minister Petr Fiala told reporters after meeting President Milos Zeman.
The law prevents Czechs from serving in an army other than their country's, slapping a prison sentence of up to five years on offenders.
If they want to fight abroad, they must ask the president for an exception.
The presidential office has so far registered about 300 requests for the exception, while 100 people have applied with the defence ministry.

Ukraine TV, $10 billion is on the way and bridge financing until then, thousands of stingers and other AA defenses will help the most with air attacks on the cities. Wait till the trained and equipped Ukrainian mortar teams in half tons start tearing up Russian supply lines, under stinger air cover, guided and guarded by drones. It will be Rat patrol all over the Ukraine with small units of highly motivated Ukrainians roaming friendly territory terrorizing conscripts and blowing up ammo, food and fuel trucks, while anti tank weapons take care of any armor around, strike and run. Not many of these rapidly formed and equipped units would be required to sow chaos in the Russian rear, they currently have no real lines of defense.

Full 8 days of war in #Ukraine. Russia is shelling cities with bombs and rockets, and prepares old provocations. In Kherson the convoy of FSB and OMON soldiers came. They will pretend to be locals, willing to join Russia. Just as in 2014 on Donbas and Crimea

Have you ever tried beet greens, fogdog? They are yummy as old get out. You can only cook them while the beets are young as they get tough when the beets are mature. As a kid we always had a large amount of beets in the garden with only half of them making it to become full grown beets.
Anyway, boil them like spinach and add butter and vinegar and you are in heaven. Especially when you get the little beets with the greens.

After seeing the quality of the Russian army, NATO can afford to give the some of their war stock piles to the Ukrainians, the Russian conventional forces are no longer seen as a threat to NATO. That means they won't have to wait long for hardware, the factories are humming with replacements now, the system is set up to rapidly make these things in case of war, a cold war legacy. If NATO ever fought Russia in a conventional land war, it would be over pretty quick and probably would be won with psychological warfare and mass surrenders of conscripts.
