“Russian General Ivashov to Putin: “You lost, after all; you didn’t foresee a thing. You didn’t have the wits to realize that the war wouldn’t be some light-hearted operation—just pop in there, strike somewhere, and that’s it, victory.” The easy military operation promised by the Kremlin has completely failed. According to the military officer, the continuation of the war is leading Russia toward total militarization and deep stagnation in all civilian spheres—from the economy and education to culture.
Ivashov emphasized that dragging out the war is destroying the country’s future for the sake of one man’s political survival.
Retired Russian Colonel General Leonid Ivashov, during a live broadcast with Russian blogger Pavel Ivanov, harshly criticized Putin for unleashing a full-scale war against Ukraine, calling for an immediate end to hostilities and a return to the negotiating table. Back in February 2022, several weeks before the full-scale invasion, he openly warned the Kremlin against attacking Ukraine, stating that it would jeopardize Russia’s very existence.”
Funny thing is that you could swap out general/pentagon, Putin/Donnie, Ukraine/Iran & 2022/2026 and not notice the difference.

Excellent question, and one which I cannot find the answer to. A good reminder to post sources.
A search came up with this old one. Could historical, he has form, or BS.

Russia forecast to loose 70,000 troops in November.
This, after the record 2980 losses on November 10th.
From a human perspective, how can a man send another to his death for little or no reason, let alone nearly 460,000? (this is the figure of deaths as leaked Russian documents from St Petersburg auditors confirm allied estimates). You must be absolutely deranged.
From a demographic perspective, this is putting a huge hole of able bodied men in the long term future of Russia which already had a declining population.
From the mobilisation perspective, Putin's desire to mobilise between 300 and 500K, at the rate of 50k per month, that will be exhausted between 6 and 10 months depending on what rate you choose.
Is Putin thinking that he will win this war in that time period? If no one is giving him the actual figures? Perhaps his own separation from reality will be his downfall.

- Kirishi oil refinery struck (November 9). This refinery processes 20m tons per annum (this was the 8th refinery struck in 11 days.
- Recent Ukrainian strikes have reduced Russian production by 30%
- Fuel shortages continue to spread. 30 gallon limit in Urban areas, 50 in rural.
- Crimea is suffering as they only have 2 hours power per day. As winter starts to creep in, Crimeans are cooking on camp fires.
- Ukraine strikes plant in St Petersburg producing missile fuel
- A body armour factory in St Petersburg was on fire but it is not confirmed that this was from a drone strike.
- Ukrainian drone operators from the 412th Nemesis Brigade struck a Russian drone launch site at Donetsk Airport, in the Russian-occupied city of Donetsk, using FP-2 strike drones.

Putin sent GRU assassins into the meeting with Kushner, Witkoff, Budanov and the rest of the Ukrainian delegation. These are the new allies of the White House, while only 3% of the US electorate supports Russia.
- Reports shared by Jay in Kyiv on X highlight a severe transport tragedy within the Russian military, where roughly 70 to 80 soldiers were packed into a refrigerated truck with the ventilation turned off for a four-hour journey. As oxygen inside the unit ran out, panic caused the trapped troops to attack each other, resulting in the deaths of all but a single survivor. The survivor recounts soldiers killing each other in a desperate bid as they were short of oxygen.
- Another kindergarten destroyed in Kyiv
- Russia has destroyed the kolibri rehabilitation centre for children. The non-profit centre operated for nine years by founder Anna Andriienko under the Inclusion Without Limits organization, supported children with disabilities, autism spectrum disorders, and special educational needs. Classrooms, remedial equipment, and learning materials were completely destroyed.

The day of horrors isn't over for the Russians yet, as all hell breaks lose at the country's largest oil refinery, a full 2,500km distance from Ukraine. The Gazpromneftekhim-ONPZ refinery is hit for the 3rd time in 3 weeks. - 440,000 barrels/day, 22 million metric tons
Russian air defences shot down 3 of their own very expensive military helicopters ($16m ea) in the process of defending the Ust Luga St Petersburg as drones hit a refinery.
The fire can be seen from Estonia.

Stalin/Putin, can't tell the difference. Although, Stalin reportedly killed between 6 and 10m people.

I might be displaying my ignorance here but, how are they getting the oil out if they do?
