Understood that Russia always starts with absurd maximalist goals. The U.N. under Putin's stooge Guterres is a do-nothing, completely compromised Russian agency anyways, so this is conquest by other means. While being frequently useless, never in it's history has the U.N. stood by so blantantly during a full scale war and had nothing to say about it. Much less one by a permanent member of the "Security" Council. This perverted old gangster ghoul lives in an utter fantasy planet.

Russia is exactly the kind of place that needs external governance.

I don't think that people who could run it well exist anywhere.

The UN is a do-nothing by design. The only way it can influence something is by creating peer pressure, which, quite obviously, has little effect on big bullies with veto rights.

And ironically, demanding a UN-governance is actually several steps down from the maximalist demands of pootler - they started with the idea of complete elimination of the Ukrainian state, went into demanding territory that they will take decades and millions of lives to occupy, now to a neutral, not even puppet government.

They're winning so hard.

Said this a few weeks ago. The degree to which Russia has fucked itself is hard to comprehend on a day to day basis. This is an absolutely historic self-own unparalleled since the Persians decided to go teach that upstart Alexander a lesson about who the big dog was. Obviously the goal was complete and total conquest, and yet in the last month, Pootz' demands have slid from a) TOTAL SURRENDER AND DISARMAMENT to b) ALL 4 ANNEXED REGIONS, CRIMEA, CONSTITUTIONAL NEUTRALITY, DISARMAMENT AND NEVER NATO to c) Please give us Donetsk and Luhansk to d) Maybe Ukrakine can exist, but how about via my stooge UN appointee? And please give me something....

In the meantime, nothing strategically relevant has changed on the battlefield, nor is Russia even gearing up beyond their regular conscription runs. If you need troops and equipment today, you needed to mobilize them 6-12 months ago and be doing non-stop training since then. They're not even doing that. This is the endgame.
