Ardennes posted:It is hard to not see such expansive measures backfiring if at a certain point everyone is on the chopping block including probably loyalists. I mean, there's been for months a chat bot where you can report 'collaborateurs' (one example the company said was exemplary: having a kid with a Russian) quote:In the application "Diya" as an advertisement for the chat bot "Evorog", the administrators posted a screenshot of one of these messages about "enemies".

It's just what society falling apart looks like, maybe they'll manage to purge all the filthy traitors and collaborators and finally have a decent and pure nation. Or maybe not, we'll see.

Supposedly, all of Ukraine’s reactors had to be temporarily shut off because of strikes, the reactors weren’t hit, but the transmission infrastructure around them isn’t stable to access at this point. Rybar is claiming the national grid is destabilizing, and individual regions may have to fend for themselves. That is a pro-Russian take but clearly things are getting worse. Ardennes has issued a correction as of 17:27 on Nov 23, 2022 |

Though, they probably just want to use it as a ceasefire to try and regroup since they realise any type of arrangements which would actually foster long-term peace are off the table -- which is why Ukraine is now rejecting all negotiations, basically, since it would hurt their goals of retaking all territory

crepeface posted:doesn't general mud make offensives pretty difficult ATM anyway? or is the thought it will take russia longer to fully mobilize than the arrival of general ice? surely ukraine are the ones who need a ceasefire more with their electric grid dying The grid thing is an issue economically, but not really for their military directly (beyond issues such as communication, though from what I know they just get electricitity anyway for things such as Starlink). Makes things difficult, but not really something worth making a ceasefire over. For Russia, it's not just training the first wave of conscripts - which will probably be done by early next year -, but also preparing for a new offensive in in 2023 which would be much harder if it's still an active front. However, there's no real reason for Ukraine to agree to this. Russia's idea is to give Ukraine back parts of occupied Kherson and directly negotiate with Ukrainian military and ignore Zelensky, which is pretty unfeasible

I think losing the electric grid would be more than a minor inconvenience for the Ukrainian military. They have generators, but if all electric locomotives are off line it is going to put them in a very difficult position especially if the Russians then target diesel depos. In addition, if there are mass evacuations and the economic collapses, it is going to effect morale and cause further supply issues. If the argument is the Russians are basically “softening up” the Ukrainians, I guess so but it is a lot easier to launch offensives against a country that is already on the brink.
