This may be the inspiration for Putinās speech in a couple of days
I donāt think Russians from richer regions will be happy with āwartime economyā.

Ye gods, just when I thought there was no way for Russian soldiers to be any more abhorrentā¦
I hope this news of their crimes in full gets back to the perpsā families, friends, teachers, every human in their lives in any way.
It took me several reads to realize a faction called VPN wasnāt launching skyrockets in Russia. 
One less T-90M for the victory parade
Any significant Russian military success will likely create a major, open-ended insurgency that will get bigger for every district Russian forces may overrun. Putin went for broke in February with Plan A. The failure of that scheme means that plans B, C or any subsequent plans still leaves Russia going for broke - needing to suppress some or all of a very big country.
One way or another, Russia will have to keep fighting in Ukraine, either against the population, or against the Ukrainian army, and quite possibly both simultaneously. And as long as Kyiv sticks to its current line that demands Russian withdrawal before any concessions can be contemplated, there is not much Putin can do but carry grimly on.
Jesus, get it together, UK. You managed to move 200,000 children out of harms way during The Blitz.
I not sure itās comparable. Back then there was probably no attention being paid to the safety of those relocated aside from āanything is safer than where they are nowā. I am glad that some attention is being paid to the safety of refugees, especially women and children. After everything they have already been through/are going through I donāt want them to end up in a situation where they are at risk of exploitation
Fair point. I read a handful were lost in a magical realm after going through a wardrobe.
Still, the UK and others should be able to figure out how help Ukrainian refugees. Those articles were about the UK, but the US could be stepping up more as well.
The fundamental difference is that the government of the day wanted the blitz evacuation to work. The current UK government really donāt want to accept any refugees at all from anywhere, so the incompetence is on purpose.
Or, perhaps more expansively, during the Blitz it was about the safety of āour peopleā as opposed to āthose others.ā
