I have suspected from the moment of 2022 #Russia’s invasion of #Ukraine 🇺🇦 that it will eventually end up with NATO and Russia’s 🇷🇺 alliance actually shooting at each other. Their annexation of Ukrainian territory seems to confirm this.

Orysia Lutsevych, "Experts predicted a stalemate in Ukraine, here’s why they keep getting it wrong" https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2022/sep/19/experts-russia-ukraine-war
« War is an expression of political culture on the battlefield. And there are stark differences between Ukrainian and Russian culture. »
[Worth reflecting on.]

#Ukraine success destroys #Russia claim to be a superpower https://nu.federati.net/url/287841
I think nuclear weapons and the willingness to use them / threaten to use them is currently the main thing that makes one nation "a superpower". Otherwise, the Taliban would be the superpower (having driven both the USSR and USA out of Afghanistan within the past 40 years).
Yes, I am aware that by that definition, North Korea is a superpower.
Having a significantly better and bigger conventional military than most other nations has to count for something. Until that military is tested in battle, one does not know how well or how poorly it will perform, but one already knows that nukes can bring unprecedented devastation ... and that nearly everyone gives nuclear-armed nations some leeway.
(In the case of Russia, I suspect their corruption problems are a big contributor to their poor battlefield performance, as is their top-down authoritarian organization.)

Now that #Ukraine has gained the initiative in #Russia's invasion, Vladimir #Putin may face new pressure. Expect him to try to find a new place to exert pressure and attempt to cut US and Western European backing.

#Ukraine forces retook around 6 000 km2 from #Russia in September, including most of Kharkiv Oblast. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-62884668 [www bbc com] Russian forces are in retreat in the area, and have lost important logistics hubs, including some that supply rebellious Donetsk and Luhansk areas.
The advances in the East have been fairly rapid. Two days ago, the reported recaptured territory was only 2 000 km2.
