“UK intelligence: Russian defense minister ‘side-lined’ within Russian leadership. The U.K. Defense Ministry said in its latest update that Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu is being “side-lined,” with Russian operational commanders briefing Putin on the course of the war
Russian officers and soldiers with first-hand experience of the war probably routinely ridicule Shoigu for his ineffectual and out-of-touch leadership as Russian progress has stalled,” the ministry said.”

“European natural gas prices plunged the most since March after Germany said its gas stores are filling up faster than planned.
In Germany, gas stores are filling up fast and are expected to meet an October target of 85% full already next month, Economy Minister Robert Habeck said in a statement on Sunday. “
Ukrainian sources of various and certainly unknown credibility have reported some 45,000 Russian soldiers killed; or perhaps killed/wounded, but I read killed with a “K”.
Does anyone here believe that?
I do not believe half of what Ukraine puts out on numbers.
I do not believe 100% of what RuZZia puts out on numbers.
Now at 6 month mark in war.
The RuZZian volunteers typically sign a 3-6 month contracts.
I have to believe a huge percentage of those volunteers won’t want to renew their contracts as they expire.
Putin is running the war.
Operational commanders should be making "real-time" decisions/commands. They should not waste their time putting together briefings.
I wonder if they use PowerPoint.
