Gotta say I'm surprised how Belarus managed to stay out of this after it quickly became obvious it wasn't going to be a parade to Kyiv.

I'd have guessed Putin would put pressure on Lukashenko to open a second front? At least give an appearance of beligerence to force Ukraine to garrison that border.

There's a whole stretch of Ukrainian - Russian border where there isn't really a front line.
I know the Belarus - Ukraine border is pretty densely forested, swampy, radioactive too.
I don't think Russia would be too keen on expanding the front - it was Ukraine did this with their Kursk offensive.

Belarus getting involved in the war.... Would have been a dangerous game given the people's sympathies would lie with Ukraine and their existing issues with the pro democracy group.
Lukashenko has done a quite skilled job in keeping things quiet for Belarus. A situation that probably suits both Ukraine and Russia.

3-day special military operation going as planned, comrade. This is just flying shield of Moskva, totally not the roof of a Moscow refinery tank flying off.

Being lazy is bad; unless you still get what you want, then it's called "patience".
Hubris must be punished. Severely.

A Russian refiniry  miles from the Kremlin exploded, a drone attack from Ukraine.  Yesterday night midnight, Eastern time, if I am right on the timing.

That's on top of Alien attack on the the fuel depot.

Black clouds over Moscow give me hope that this war eventually ends and on more favourable terms for Ukraine than what could be expected when it started.

And with the war in the South is going too.

In several surveys, the overwhelming first choice for what makes Canada unique is multiculturalism. This, in a world collapsing into stupid, impoverishing hatreds, is the distinctly Canadian national project.
