Speaking of Russians bravely opposing the regime.
More context
"In Lukhovitsy near Moscow, a military registration and enlistment office was burned. An unknown guerrilla posted a video and a statement. The attack is directed against Putin's aggression in Ukraine. We welcome the sabotage of the war machine of the aggressors. We call on all awakened residents of Russia and Belarus to follow the example of a brave saboteur near Moscow."
Not sure about the validity of this but who doesn't enjoy a some good old-fashioned bomb throwing anarchists burning down government buildings.
IMO, a good number of people like this is the only thing that can save the world from a large scale nuclear war. Russia exploding from within seems like the only hope... very slim hope.
Peace talks finally seem to be succeeding. Let's hope they can find some compromise and stop this horror.
Those peace talks are useless\harmful. Russian goal is the destruction of the Ukrainian nation and the only kind of agreement they may agree to is one that will allow them to regroup and start another stage of the war whenever it benefits them completely ignoring whatever piece of paper that may be signed.
How else could this end, if not with a peace treaty? The only alternative I can see is escalation into an actual world war.
WW3 has already started. It is just a somewhat hybrid one
This war can end only with the collapse of Russia just like WW2 could end only with the collapse of the Third Reich. And no, I am not living in a fairytale in which Ukraine starts a great counteroffensive and... Ukraine will be slowly losing, transitioning from conventional war to something more simmilar to Syria with pockets of resistance all while Russia destabilized in a war it can't end...
Or Russia will defeat Ukraine relatively quickly and then try with some other country (baltic states, Poland, Kazakhstan, Finland, whatever), and then the cycle will repeat.
Russia will collapse as a result of this war. It is doomed. The question is how many people this monster will take with itself. Nuclear war is the worst possible scenario
