I see that the Rus General Staff comments on "tasks have been completed", and "the focus forward will be in Donbass" gets a lot of attention.

I will caution against interpreting this as a sign of Rus lowering their war-aims until we see concrete changes on the ground.

It's understandable that one hopes and looks for potential off-ramps to end the death and suffering, and this war does look unwinnable for Rus, but it's still early.

Remember the "withdrawals" from Syria, or more recently, the "end of the buildup" episodes before the war.

Russia needs a pause to reorganize, restore logistics and bring in reinforcements.

Some sort of mobilization likely already is underway, with indications that a larger mobilization could be just ahead of us.

We still haven't seen a substantial Russian reaction to the sanctions that has shattered their economy. I expect we may see something soon.

Also, any negotiated settlement has to be on Ukrainian terms, not forced upon them by "well-meaning" westerners, nor Russian threats.

Yes, this assessment is bleak and pessimistic, and as with my assessments of Nov/Dec that war was likely, I hope I'm wrong.

However, we need to steel ourselves, and prepare for the possibility that the worst is yet ahead of us.

Give Ukraine maximum support!

Слава Україні!

@Andy_Scollick I'm not sure. I asked a weapons guy who thinks it looks more like WP than thermite, but we'll have to wait until we get photos of the aftermath.
