    @George-K

    More on the leak:

    "U.S. intelligence appears to have penetrated nearly every Russian military body including the General Staff, the Defense Ministry and the GRU military intelligence agency, as well as the private mercenary group Wagner."

          Has there been any progress on either side? My news feeds seem to have shriveled up wrt Ukraine.

            The MSM is focusing it's attention elsewhere. The more coverage, the more Americans that think it's not worth throwing more money at...

              From today’s issue Moscow Times:

              The Kremlin said Thursday it welcomed any attempt to end the Ukrainian conflict, on Moscow's terms, a day after the leaders of China and Ukraine had their first call since the offensive.

              "We are ready to welcome anything that can bring forward the end of the conflict in Ukraine and the achievement of Russia's goals," Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters.

              In other words, the Kremlin is not interested.

                But they have moved a huge amount of armaments out of Crimea, expecting a Ukrainian offensive. Taking Crimea back would be huge.

                    I read today that many of the oligarchs, their families and even some Russian companies are actively searching for places to move, anticipating some major strife within the country.
