Our Blitzkrieg has totally collapsed. It is impossible to complete the task: If Zelensky and his deputies were captured in the first 3 days, all key buildings also captured, and they were forced to read an address of their surrender to the country,

This pretty much sums it up, Russia is going to get bogged down

Thanks, Baggs

Here's another that people might think interesting. It came up on twitter last night. This is a link to a facebook page in Russian, but if you right click on it you should get a 'translate to English' option. It is purportedly from a member of the Russian analytics service.

Here is the translation in a series of tweets

I have no idea how genuine this is, but it ties in with other commentators assessments of the Russian forces.

Oh, this is interesting, too. It examines the development of politics in Russia and how Putin took power
