A long read (on drones and Zelenski vs his top general), but worth it. https://stefankorshak.substack.com/p/feb-3-day-710-droning-on-about-drones?utm_medium=reader2

Battle or meat grinder for Adiivka continues. Russian losses estimated at 13:1.
Suspect George’s video above documents what is happening on the ground there: -

@Wim That is interesting. China is pretty much the only major trading partner for Russia now. If they lose China...........
It is surprising that Chian would do this. With all of the domestic problems (including exports) they are having, I wonder the reasoning.

https://www.kyivpost.com/post/28053I almost stopped reading at "Russia says," but I see that the US insists that Kyiv be part of the talks, and Putin said nyet.

Beware of "Track II". The Kurds have experienced something alike.

This issue was debated here three months ago in December. The US must be at the table along side Ukraine as honest broker, arbitrator and guarantor. It’s all about winning the peace.

His hope is to incent Biden to bite in an election year with a difficult Congress, yet still retain occupied territory. It’s to Biden’s credit that he refused.

The Kremlin has wasted no time in denying it made such an offer to the US:
That probably means that the report is true. Besides, Putin as much as said in his sermon/lecture to FuCa last week that he is prepared to negotiate Ukraine’s continued existence with any sitting US president. Makes sense, since Putin rejects the notion that Ukraine is a sovereign country or even exists.

As John Bolton stated in a recent interview “Putin thought Trump was a fool who could be easily manipulable if he could get him the right situations”. Putin certainly recognized that Trump admired the other strong man leaders like Erdogan, Xi and Kim. Moreover, he saw Trump as a force set out to weaken if not altogether dissolve NATO.
Trump sold out the Kurds to Erdogan so why, in his little narcissistic brain, should the Ukrainians be not be sold out to Putin?

Speaking in an interview with a correspondent of Russian state television, Putin declared that he will work with any U.S. leader who is elected, but noted unequivocally that he would prefer Biden’s victory when asked who would be a better choice from the point of view of Russia.
“Biden, he’s more experienced, more predictable, he’s a politician of the old formation,” Putin said. “But we will work with any U.S. leader whom the American people trust.”
