Assuming it's true at all that Putin is deploying notorious Wagner mercenaries, why "forced"?

Gotta love charged language, right?

As someone who isn’t taking sides with Russia or Ukraine, I must admit this whole war is fascinating just to watch people’s reactions here.

I really did expect Russia to rollup Ukraine within a week or two.

And from a purely neutral look at things, the Ukes are really doing far better than expected.

I can’t see how this helps Russia at all. They really are worried for good reason.

In the long run?

No one knows. Like I said, it should have been over two years ago.

Big Wagner convoy most likely from Belarus just got liquidated by Ukrainian special forces in Kursk an hour ago.

🇺🇦 is now confirmed to control at least 155 km² of Kursk Oblast. For reference, 🇷🇺 controls ~150 km² north of Kharkiv. Advances are reported to be more extensive than shown, however, OPSEC is tight and this is all that has been verified so far.
