You are trying to compare civilian casualties with military casualties? So you are saying that Putin is not killing "as much as he could" because Ukrainians are your brothers? It is the same when you said that Ukrainians will forget all this and be brothers ...man!... that is so pyscho! Are you a sociopath or did you use some "recommended answers" from your controllers (which I am sure are sociopaths)?
That's what I'm saying, instead of massive aerial bombardments of cities and fortified areas, there are pinpoint missile strikes on outbreaks of military activity. Let me remind you that the United States bombed Iraq for 37 days before launching a ground operation, and Iraq is half the size of Ukraine and there are deserts there. Russia is acting much more humanely towards the civilian population. Ukraine is heterogeneous in composition, in the East there are many Russian-speaking people who have been living under shelling from the Armed Forces of Ukraine for eight years, for example, as residents of Donetsk. Refugees from Mariupol to Russian territory talk about the atrocities of the Azov Nazis who shoot and kill civilians.
During the conflict the military of Ukraine has received and keeps on receiving billions in weapons aid which is making it stronger than ever. At this point something should be clear even for Putin: US and Europe are not going to let Ukraine fall. If planes are needed, there will be planes, if tanks are needed, there will be tanks, if more intelligence is needed it will be provided.
I think this is one of the fakes of Ukrainian propaganda, saying that the West will help. The disposal of illiquid weapons is no more difficult than one person can lift - this is the maximum of this help from the West, a rocket from the sky will immediately fly into something larger. Nothing oversized and nothing in large batches. No ships, no planes, no helicopters, no artillery, no tanks, no anti-aircraft missile systems, only hand-held anti-tank systems and a few drones.
RE Russophobia - please, this is for all Russians, Europe is not an enemy of the Russian people. We want to trade and have a pacific relationship and we are sorry that your current leader is sending your young to die by the thousands when there is absolutely no need for it nor anything to gain for you.
I'm talking about the manifestations of Kansel culture, when the names of great Russian writers, composers and artists are deleted from the list of the treasury of world culture, when athletes are discriminated against on a national basis and not allowed to compete in sports, when Russians are hounded just because they are Russian - about manifestations of Nazism in modern Europe.
As said: Putin's army has no real capability to hold long supply lines. Ukraine has delivered a few counter strikes and holds several strategic points. From "we want to depose the government" is now becoming "we want the south ports" and will eventually become "err... well, sorry, we were just passing by". To late for many.
The Russian army pushed the Ukrainian army back at least 100 km inland from the border with Russia to prevent Ukrainian rockets and cannons from firing at Russia, and then stopped in advance to reduce personnel losses. The army of the Armed Forces of Ukraine is blocked in the Donbass and in the vicinity of Kyiv, and in the vicinity of Nikolaev - from the north, east and south, but the entire territory of Ukraine, including the western one, is being shot through with missiles.
RE Energy, it seems that Putin is backing up on the senseless plan of payments in roubles - who knows, he may some day decide that this whole war was not a great idea after all. Late for many.
We'll see.
