Russo-Ukrainian War 2014-23 and Invasion

Maybe, Legbiter, but I don't think this is something that would be risked if the military organisation being upheaveld is managing a well-going war at the moment.

CC, I think corruption is too central to the feudal Russian regime to assume that it would be fought past as an excuse for one power bloc to attack the other.

Both potential readings seem reasonable to me.

Both potential readings seem reasonable to me.

And can be true at the same time too.

This could also be a "round up the usual suspects" operation to pinpoint some convenient scapegoats for the Russian military failures.

I suggest you read the article which sets out the reasons why they have reported that is the reason, you might just learn something

Regardless of the state of the war in actuality in the long term, which does indeed seem not great for Russia, it can't be denied the current situation is just past the best it has been since the start of the invasion for them.
The timing of all these moves does seem to be to leap on that and hide behind current successes/stop others using them?
