Surely Russia wouldn't *abandon* their new citizens who democratically voted by 99% to be Russian?!?

“A decision on membership, of course, has to be taken by all 30 allies and we take these decisions by consensus,” he said. “Our focus now,” he added, “is on providing immediate support to Ukraine, to help Ukraine defend itself against the Russian brutal invasion.”

Stoltenberg - the alliance’s immediate focus is on the war:

Speaking of catastrophic casualties, Ukraine intercepted a transmission of a Russian platoon leader asking for a medivac for his wounded men. Instead, his commander told him to bury the wounded. When the platoon leader pushed back, the commander said he didn't care and that this was an order for everyone. Yes, a direct order to bury wounded men.

I have very little clarity about the situation around Kupyansk. I have the feeling not much has changed.
However, I have heard that Ukraine continues to cause massive, truly horrific casualties to Russia in this area. I do not believe Ukraine has much incentive to move from its positions. Instead, they watch Russians move into known defensive positions and then destroy them with artillery. Then watch another group go in. Over and over again. As I stated earlier, Russia is not medivacking the wounded. The casualties are enormous and, without medical care, even moderate wounds become lethal.

I would say thank you - but I think I read far enough that I'm not going to be sleeping well for a few nights.

Several have reportedly had the misfortune of being sadly in the same location as Ukr missile strikes there in the last week.

Amazing news. Now we need to watch and wait for Putins response. Will it go nuclear?

On Sunday evening, Putin held a meeting via videoconference with the leadership of the military and power blocs. Representatives of the leadership of the military bloc only stated the loss of troops, weapons and territories and did not demonstrate any optimism or enthusiasm. The main problem, as before, the military leadership considers the lack of weapons.

Most of the General Staff confidently asserts that mobilization will not radically change anything, will not serve as a turning point, and at best, will briefly delay the offensive of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, but at the same time, the number of losses among the Russian military will increase by a multiple. The general assessment of the majority in the General Staff and the Ministry of Defense is that the war is lost, and its continuation is senseless and, as some are already saying, criminal. This position has already been conveyed to the president several times through reports and personal communication, but he categorically refuses to admit the obvious and is trying once again to outwit fate, this time at the cost of hundreds of thousands of lives on both sides of the front.

The very possibility of delivering a nuclear strike against an enemy at the front, as well as the fact that with the help of the limited use of tactical nuclear weapons, the situation will change radically, causes skepticism in the General Staff, but sliding into a global nuclear war of mutual destruction with the whole world is regarded as quite possible scenario.

During the meeting, Putin said several times that it is necessary to act faster (there is no time to build up!), To contain the offensive of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, throw in those freshly called up for mobilization. Once again, the president promised that there would be personal responsibility for the loss of territories, but these words are already perceived doomed, even with a certain amount of irritation and do not affect the situation in any way.

During the meeting, Secretary of the Security Council of the Russian Federation Nikolai Patrushev uttered the key phrase: “Shame! What a disgrace!" To whom this appeal was addressed remained a mystery, perhaps just a rhetorical statement with a statement of the situation, but the fact that most people in the elites already have poorly concealed irritation towards the still acting president is unequivocal.
