"Russian officials and state-run and state-affiliated TV channels likely refrained from commenting on the two-year anniversary of the start of Russia's full-scale invasion to avoid drawing attention to Russia's failures to achieve its stated strategic goals in Ukraine and its more immediate goals of seizing all of Luhansk and Donetsk oblasts, while also suffering high personnel losses," the ISW said...
The think tank said a recent opinion poll, conducted by independent Russian opposition polling organization Chronicles between January 23 and 29, suggests that "Russian sentiments about the war in Ukraine have largely remained unchanged in recent months and that most Russians are largely apathetic to the conflict, though most do not support a second wave of mobilization."
Mention of the war anniversary was therefore likely largely avoided by state TV and Kremlin officials "in an effort to maintain public apathy toward the war that, in part, allows Russian officials to continue the war without significant public backlash," the ISW said.
"ISW continues to assess that Putin is likely aware that a second mobilization wave would be widely unpopular and is concerned that such a measure would generate widespread discontent," the think tank's update concluded, adding, however, that Putin may change his approach to the topic after his re-election in the presidential election in March...

Probably because the Russians consider the war to have begun in 2014 when the Ukraine attacked their people in Donestsk.
...and Donald Trump is suffering dementia because he mistakenly called his wife Mercedes and he recommends that people who have no water coming out of their showerheads should spend five times as long in the shower as they normally would. Also, Republicans are responsible for whatever problems there are at the border.
Oh come on certainly Russia is proud of the fact that it has now taken more than 2 years for it to fight with frigging Ukraine. /s
Hilarious. Yeah that’s the reason, they will be acknowledging the 15 year anniversary.
Wow that’s embarrassing.
Indeed. Their “Special Military Operation” intended to put an and to a decade of low-intensity warfare backfired hugely.
If Russia is incompetent, then Russia poses no expansionist risk.
Yet you keep pimping both ideas. Why is that?
That second, surprise, mass-mobilization right after the election isn’t going to go over well
Any Russian with any rational sense, that wants to stay alive, should GTHO of Russia now, before the election
Huh? No idea where you’re getting your info, but Ukraine keeps losing territory and, in fact, most recently their strategic outpost city of Andriivka was taken by Russian forces.
They are largely incompetent as their invasion of Ukraine plainly shows. But they can still cause a lot of trouble, they are mainly a threat to themselves. But they are also a threat to us.
Do you comb Newsweak looking for crap like this? It is a RAT site ya knucklehead.
Did Ukraine mention the fact that everything they have tried has been a major failure on the fabulous Anniversary?
How many Newsweak threads do you have going at one time? LOL
I am still against sending anymore money or weapons to Ukraine.

Keep spinning like a top idiot.
Great comeback, truly witty.
The anniversary of this war is the CIA-led Maidan coup which began 11 years ago on 21 November 2013.
more Russian lies & propaganda to cover for your Kremlin dwarf
You’re getting cranky, is the war not going well for you?
Schadenfreude is such a guilty pleasure. Embrace the suck you lefty loon.
All I see is a former superpower flailing around on the battlefield
That’s why we’re now in Year 3
“and its more immediate goals of seizing all of Luhansk and Donetsk oblasts”
So going on three years, they have yet to capture all of oblasts that were supposedly annexed? And we are not even talking about the supposedly Russian oblast of Kherson.
Thats pathetic!
