so its possible the mines were put there by the Ukraines

You're so helpful.

The Kremlin is calling up another 134,500 conscripts between April 1st and July 15th.  The Russian Ministry of Defense says the new conscripts "will not be sent to any hot spots," and all those called up last Spring will be sent home.

Sure.  Troop losses.  Economic collapse.  Forced regime change, although sadly I think that's wishful thinking.  Nobody can get close enough.

Eventually they'll run out of rockets/shells/ammunition.  Russian arms factories are already shutting down for lack of subcomponents and raw materials, and they rely on global supply chains to bring in much of that, they don't manufacture all of the subcomponents in-country.  China could fill some of that gap but not all of it.  And as you see from the global microchip shortages causing massive shortfalls in the production of computers, telephones, and automobiles, missing just one small $3 microcontroller from Taiwan or the Philippines can halt an entire production line of $100,000 vehicles.  Russia is using up munitions at a rapid rate, and it'll take them years to replenish their stocks, if ever.

Germany says they are going to prosecute their citizens who appear to support Russia in the war. Seems a bit f***king crazy to me, but whatevs. 

Germany will prosecute anyone who displays the "Z" symbol in support of Russia

They have a habit of doing shit like this

Duh, they want the Donbas region and a land bridge, so that is where they will focus while causing destruction in other areas but staying on the defensive.

I don't think Ukranian forces can do much offensively against resistance.  Pinpricks, and they need to be cautious about getting sucked into a killing zone.
