Russian regions will soon have the authority to establish their own private military companies and arm them, according to the proposed amendments being rushed through the State Duma. 1/5

So Russia is becoming Westeros now? Do they not know how that panned out?

I could really see some of the republics within Russia to try and secede from Russia if the situation gets too bad. Dagestan and Tatarstan or Bashkortostan look like prime contenders for this to happen. Or Chechens get rid of Kadyrov and restart their conflict with Russia? Circassian Nationalists may also be a group to watch in this regard.

So many options as to where a civil war could get started from...

The UK believes that Russia may escalate its campaign to destroy Ukraine’s food exports by targeting civilian ships in the Black Sea.

We will highlight this unconscionable behaviour at the UNSC. Russia should stop holding global food supplies hostage and return to the deal.

Russian most effective main battle tank T90M was damaged and immobilized by the 92nd brigade. The 32nd brigade damaged the auxiliary power unit on it with a drone-dropped grenade.

Also, keep in mind pretty much all Russian communications are on a delay. Events they claim are today are almost certainly not from today. The only real exception are huge events they cannot hide, like missile strikes.

I don't think 10th corps is the 'reserve,' but probably the force that was intended to breach the main defensive lines once 9th corps got there, which the 9th has been trying to do for the past 6-7 weeks. Agree, it looks as though 10th units are being more fully committed.
