    It would be weird to shoot down friendly helicopters and launch cruise missiles at friendly formations just to make a big feint.

    Ukraine just needs to take the land bridge to Crimea, I don’t see they have any incentive to go inwards towards Russia.

      Well, it would certainly be a massive moral blow to Russia if Ukraine just up and freed Crimea. The bigger challenge would be installing a leader that isn’t going to turn around and give the country back to Putin.

      Do we know for certain that any of that happened though? Because I haven’t seen any video of actual engagement between Wagner and Russia.
