Russian children can dream the Putin dream of growing up and being sent to kill/die in Ukraine.

 
CNN - Russian oligarch Yevgeny Prigozhin appears to admit to US election interference

Yevgeny Prigozhin, a Kremlin-linked oligarch known as "Vladimir Putin's chef," appeared to admit to Russian interference in US elections in a Telegram post on Monday.

Prigozhin said that Russia has interfered, is interfering and will continue to interfere in the US democratic process, in response to a journalist's question about Russia potentially meddling in US congressional elections on Tuesday.

"I will answer you very subtly, and delicately and I apologize, I will allow a certain ambiguity. Gentlemen, we interfered, we interfere and we will interfere," Prigozhin said.

You would think that since this isn't exactly a big secret, it might change how people vote....but no.
 
News outlets expressed concern days ago that this might be a Russian trap 5o draw Ukrainian troops in only to pounce. I hope the Ukrainians are careful and avoid the trap if it is one.
Yeah.....the leaders of Ukraine are already expressing a lot of skepticism about this, but Ukraine has some of the best intelligence reports in the world so I don't worry too much about them walking into a situation like this blindly. I would focus on making sure that withdrawal is as expensive as possible. They are apparently having supply issues and tightening that noose seems like a good strategy to me.
