A distraction from the frontline, drawing Ukraine's resources to the north.

Last time I was in Minsk (1997), they had coppers still in uniform moonlighting as bouncers. I know this has nothing to do with the subject; it's just to annoy Tim and Strungout.

Restructuring of the armed forces leadership and a doubling down on the war in Ukraine. The official narrative has been seriously called out this week. Probably a call to solidarity, not division. And a naughty boys headmasterly rant for sure.
Not sure he'll mention the eight (?) helicopters etc that Wagner shot down tho!
