The speculation is something with lots of steroid medications.

I read that in The Guardian this morning and all I could think of was just how utterly utterly evil this tactic is (FTA):

Each shell can contain up to 8,000 fléchettes. Once fired, shells burst when a timed fuse detonates and explodes above the ground.

FlĂ©chettes, typically between 3cm and 4cm in length, release from the shell and disperse in a conical arch about 300m wide and 100m long. On impact with a victim’s body, the dart can lose rigidity, bending into a hook, while the arrow’s rear, made of four fins, often breaks away causing a second wound.

Then again, nuclear war is utterly evil.
Rape, pillage, maiming
 evil, evil, evil.
All of it.

I guess that frees up Le Pen to make some money lobbying for her party’s fascist sugar daddy as he continues his war.

But yes, it is a relief. For now.

No idea how honest Oleg Stepanov is apart from his diplomatic duties. I’m guessing not very, but he may have good reason to fear Putin.

War crimes charges take time. Putin is betting on running out the clock. Officers throughout the chain of command need to be made aware that they too can and will be charged with war crimes here.
