I'm not following why exactly she's in Georgia. Is she fleeing as well ?
One big factor is that Russian have been losing troops and equipment at a rate farchigher than they can reolace them. Ukraine have been gettinbg gradually stronger/better equiped. Training, equipmrnt and intellegence ftom the West will also continue.
Another reason to not believe anything this guy ever says.
Doomed is a little strong, but yeah they're in for a wild ride as their economy shifts. Russian gas is apparently a main input for pretty much all their chemical and industrial production lines, which will have to move, probably to the US because gas is cheapest here outside places you don't want to go.

With supplies cut off, just a matter of time.
Imagine the US or UK going to war and having 60,000 dead soldiers in 2022. The PM would be put in jail.
COVID suggests otherwise.
Reminds me a bit of the daisy advert…
She & her husband are kinda in-between everything. He still has a theatre in Moscow (he disapproves of the war, I think, although his manifesto a few years back was a washed-down version of Putin's latest speech), she certainly spends a lot of time in Moscow as well... I think she probably interviews this guy for her YouTube channel, she's a journalist now, apparently.
to stop Ukraine doing similar things in the future.
Maybe it's his version of backing down? Now that anyone should believe him or trust him to keep his word.
Makes some sense.
Good smesh
Were they soldiers at war? Why bring your own political views into this?
It makes it sound as if they don't talk. I am calling bs.
A bit of a public spanking puts more pressure on them than private warnings.
I'm curious if there is also some noise that they may be planning to do something imminently. It's also a "this is why we won't give you ATACMS" reminder.
I always thought Dagestani and Chechen don't like each other?
I also don't think Kadyrov is really sending his sons to the front. This is a bit suspicious but it does seem like something is brewing.
But he made a nice little Tiktok Video about it. That Dagestani man believes it, that's good enough I think.
What’s important is that there is discontent among Russian elites. Shoigu v Prigozhin, Kadyrov getting progressively annoyed, and probably many others we don’t hear about. Collectively, this sort of thing can be incredibly destabilizing to Putin.
Perhaps you remember the Russian journalist who held a sign saying: “Don’t believe the propaganda. They’re lying to you here.”
Here is her story so far. I hope she was able to get out of Russia...

Russian anti-war journalist confirms she has fled house arrest
Marina Ovsyannikova says she refuses to comply with restraint order because she is ‘completely innocent’

Great opportunity for some republics to fight for independence, Putin will have to decide what to do with his army, stay in Ukraine or move the troops to try to stop any insurgency.
The war will stop in 2 conditions, Putin dies or some republics decide they want to be free. If Putin uses nuclear weapons in Ukraine the world would denounce Putin but nothing else, they have enough missiles to destroy the entire planet and if US or NATO invades their territory you better run to the closest bar and have a drink. The Ukraine war is getting too dangerous for the world and supporting Ukraine with weapons - yes, letting them joining NATO - no.
If Putin goes nuclear in Ukraine, NATO army will be on Ukrainian soil/airspace in a couple of hours and erase the Russian army within legitimate Ukrainian territory. After that, it is tit for tat. The world will not just watch Putin use nukes and denounce him.
So nuking Russia? Isn't that basically ending the world
Oh, I thought Ukraine and Ukrainians dont exist.
My daughter has a Ukrainian schoolmate and she's now teaching me numbers in Ukrainian.
Russian helmets are essentially fake.
If Russia use a nuke in Ukraine, NATO roll in. The decision to use another nuke against NATO is a completely different ballgame for Russia.
The article also mentions the apparent lack of transparency of Ukrainian military/spec. ops for U.S. — maybe they're trying to force them to open up?
