As Russia’s invasion of Ukraine reaches day 86, it’s estimated that over 28,000 Russian soldiers have been killed. Despite this, Russia is still losing hundreds of soldiers daily. A retired Soviet colonel, Mikhail Kordianok, recently spoke out on Russian state TV, saying that Russia is in full geopolitical isolation and needs to find a way out of the conflict, as Ukraine will not surrender. However, he was forced to backtrack on his statements, likely due to pressure from the FSB.

The colonel also discussed Russia’s failure to mobilize its reservists, citing a lack of equipment and the need for time to build new planes, tanks, and ships. He believes that Russia’s system for tracking reservists is poor, and that calling up hundreds of thousands of men would lead to embarrassment and civil unrest.

The real concern, according to the colonel, is ethnic uprisings at home. With over 2 million ethnic Ukrainians, 12 million Turkic people, and 1.6 million Finns living in Russia, the government is worried about potential uprisings and the impact on national security.

Meanwhile, the US Senate has passed a $40 billion aid package for Ukraine, and the State Department is set to reopen its embassy in Kiev. Ukraine is also asking for anti-ship missiles, rocket launchers, and attack drones, which could be delivered by the US. The conflict in Ukraine has severe global implications, with Russia’s blockade of Ukrainian ports threatening global food security.

As the war continues, Russia is facing increasing criticism for its actions, including war crimes. The first Russian soldier has been put on trial for shooting and killing an unarmed Ukrainian civilian, and it’s likely that many more will follow. The reaction of the Russian public to these war crimes is unknown, but it’s likely to be a significant challenge for the government’s propaganda machine.
