Putin seems to be trying to stir the nationalist pot more than anything. They might try something in western Ukraine however.

What would Putin be able to try in Western Ukraine? It seems like right now Russia's ability to do anything in Ukraine is fairly limited even in the east and the south..

Western Ukraine doesn't border Russia. As for Belarus they tried that at the start of the war, and it worked out just great.

From Belarus? That whole border is fully mined now on Ukraine side - it would be impossible. With as much difficulty as Ukraine is having now moving across Russian minefields, we can assume that their own minefields on Belarus border are much better set up, maintained, and reinforced.

Putin is trying to quell the nationalists because they've gotten too loud and too big for their britches in terms of talking smack about Putin. Putin needs to make an example of them and keep them in line instead of trying to become the new Prigozhin.

I'd imagine targeting probably infrastructure for Kiev is still a priority, and stopping supply lines from NATO countries to try and starve ammo and materiel would be another possibility. It'd probably have to jump off from Belarus first though.

It's surprising to me that Girkin was allowed to be this critical at all. My assumption was that if they stamp out any and all dissent it makes Putin look thin-skinned and too much like a dictator. I guess things are at the point now where the optics don't matter as much as total control of the narrative.

I mean, isn't that what Girkin more or less did?

Even when he was ranting about military or political incompetence, it always seemed to be from a perspective of "We must win this war, as we all want the Russian Empire to be big and strong and destroy its enemies".

I don't think his loyalty to Russia (or his idea of Russia) was in question. But to Putin, maybe.

Absolutely, his angle was that Russia couldn't win as long as the current leaders are in office.
