The mini-bloggers previously cheered Putin's military, but now 'criticized Russian armed forces leadership,' the Institute for the Study of War said Saturday.

After reports surfaced Wednesday that Ukraine had destroyed a Russian unit attempting to traverse the strategically significant Siversky Donets river in Ukraine's southeastern Donbas region, a number of Russian observers of the conflict reportedly became alarmed. Drone footage has since confirmed the reports of the Russian unit's destruction, the Atlantic Council reported Friday.

Russian mini-bloggers are reportedly shocked by their nation's military's"incompetence" in Ukraine.

It pointed out that these mini-bloggers previously had been"cheering on the Russian military," but now"criticized Russian armed forces leadership for failing to learn from experience in the war." The report continued, saying,"They also expressed the concern that the constant pushing of Russia's propaganda lines was making it hard for them to understand what was actually going on.

"Russian forces are increasingly constrained by degraded enabling capabilities, continued low morale and reduced combat effectiveness. Many of these capabilities cannot be quickly replaced or reconstituted, and are likely to continue to hinder Russian operations in Ukraine," the British defense ministry's report explained.

Matt Gaetz-USA congressman 'Just a year ago, we lost the war against goat herders brandishing rifles [in Afghanistan]. Now we are rushing to war with a state that has 6,000 nuclear warheads,'

Despite the military setbacks and optimism of western media (as biased as the Russian media) the Russians managed to conquer a huge chunk of southern and eastern Ukraine and I don't think Ukraine will retake it anytime soon

Zelenskyy Calls for Direct Talks With Putin as Russia Pulls Back From Kharkiv“We must find an agreement,” Zelenskyy said amid mounting fears that Moscow’s invasion and the West’s response have spiraled into a dangerous proxy war between nuclear-armed powers. 'We should find an agreement' should mean doing everything we can to deescalate the conflict so it doesn't turn into a global war or a nuclear confrontation. It shouldn't mean $40 billion for more weapons. Zelensky is a showman, not a serious negotiator. Just review his flip flopping. He has no intent to negotiate, just delay to get his $40 billion plus more weaponry. Else there would be an agreement already, and he doesn't need a face to face w/putin. Showman out for camera time.
