But this confirms me in my suspicion that russia, apart from the front, is ridiculously ill defended.
The wagner rebellion almost reached Moscow before they persuaded them to stop. And now this.
I am convinced, that if Nato and/or Europe decided on a blitz in the early spring, Moscow and Putin would quickly fall and the war will be over.
But it seems like the world wants to torture Ukraine by giving them just enough military help and resources to allow them to barely survive, but definitely not enough to win the war, thus ensuring the maximum amount of pain and death.
