I don't think Russia is in a big hurry. The longer this goes on, the more of a burden it becomes on collective West, while euphoria over initial Ukrainian successes dies down. With no Ukrainian victory in sight, it becomes an endless money pit. Other more important events will take place and attention will shift. Currently Russia is open to realistic negotiations, but in the end it will be a cut and run for the West, just like Afghanistan.

WTF? Do they not have a coax? That was a lot of shells downrange for a couple of infantry in a fighting position. And what the hell were in infantry guys doing? There was literally armor 30 feet away and they are lobbing grenades in not even the fir direction.
Never heard of this publication before, so its political "bent" is unknown...
There is only one winner in the Ukrainian war: the US
"Many are surprised by Russia’s sudden and violent reaction, which is to be expected if one pays attention to the processes and not just the details. Already in 2007, in the Europe for Peace declaration, it was said that Europe would be plunged into a serious conflict if it continued to support Washington’s policy."

To be fair, $2.6B is like the Pentagon condiment budget.
They probably spend that much on ketchup packets for the hot dog stand in the courtyard.
And the longer it goes on it doesn't become a burden for Russia? That is some good crack you are smoking.
Why would Russia be open to negotiation if this is a existential struggle?
Perhaps things are going so bad even you are beginning to see it.

Russia is restructuring its military industrial complex and economic ties. They will come out of this as a major world power, just as it was after WWII. They know they will be challenged by the West one way or another until this happens.
The West is failing to achieving its objectives with this proxi war. It's backfiring on the West.
Russia is literally a dying country. More people die every year than are born. Putin is squandering his limited supply of men who are in the child producing years, and he has lost who knows how many due to migration out of Russia to avoid the war. Russia may win this war but it is laughable to think they come out of it as a major world power. They are a borderline third world country with nukes. That's it.
They just added a bunch of people in 4 former Ukrainian regions. Wars are followed by baby booms.

We stayed in Afghanistan for 20 years. As long as Americans aren't dying we're happy to pad the bottom line of the defense contractors forever.
Russia will be out of men and munitions before winter.
You are delusional.
Ukraine has less people and sustains higher casualties. Even if they don't wake up and realize how they are being used by evildoers in Washington, they will run out of men much sooner then the Russians. Russia was supposed to run out of munitions last summer, there was no economic collapse either and no regime change in sight.

Sure, whatever.
My prediction is that you will silently drop off the forum when Russia collapses from this, just like the train guy did with his droplets.
We'll see who gets to say "I told you so".
Is Russia Running out of soldiers?

I could be way wrong but this is my take.
The casualties are enormous. Its very possible Russia has suffered 150k-200k casualties. But let's stop for a minute and break that down.
Maybe 30k regular forces and the bulk of the remainder are from the Wagner group. By all accounts the Wagner group is getting decimated.
But of the potential 100k Wagner casualties are of value to Russian society? It seems that number is largely composed of convicts, prisoners, undesirables etc... If they get killed off in attrition does Russia think that's necessarily a bad thing?
Think about it, there haven't been many reports of regular Russian units taking the same pummeling as Wagner group has. It seems a majority of the Russian regulars are being held back in reserve still.
Meanwhile the Ukrainians are savaging the Russian forces but their best fighters are being eliminated in attrition by artillery and relentless assaults. Ukraine is losing their best while Russia is losing a mixture of their undesirables, conscripts and regular forces. Who can keep up that longer?
I could be wrong and the entire situation is very convoluted and murky. Its really hard to know what's going on, there has never been a war with so much instant propaganda.

"Ukraine is not the 51st state:" Marjorie Taylor Greene opposes U.S. support for the war
Its out own stupidity for getting into this debacle and putting all these sanctions on Russia. We should not have played these games.
Why would Russia not want to see the USD supplanted? We totally screwed them so I'm their own self interests they are seeking a better way forward for their country and their vision of what they want to happen.
Keeping the USD as global reserve is not their preferred outcome since we decoupled our economies from east and west. They have the energy and want to sell it so why not find an alternative that they can do business with.
I know you get the significance but many others and normies do not, if the USD is replaced then it's game over our economy will self destruct and our debt will instantly matter.
