I am trying to keep as up-to-date as I can with the media and news (both mainstream and alternative), and am at the point of information overload. It is difficult to clarify the reality of the situation amongst all of the stories coming out. What with Western politicians paying visits, questionable videos of the current state of affairs and apparently Zelenskyy teasing the idea of nuclear escelaion. Regardless of what may be fact or hear-say, I cannot make heads nor tails out of it. I'd be interested to know what people on here think is currently happening and what may come to pass.

Mariupol is down to a couple thousand Azov rats hiding in the depths of Azovstal. A full-scale assault for the final liberation of Donbas just kicked off. There are so few active military assets in the other parts of Ukraine, Russia is now systematically destroying it's entire defense industry, like factories and repair facilities.
I haven;t come across it anywhere in the news, but from a source I trust Russia just shot down a cargo plane full of "humanitarian aid", which was made up of small arms ammunition and anti-personnel mines. This is a big escalation no one wants to talk about, but Russia has no more patience for such "aid" shipments.
As I see it, on one side Russia is going to just keep hammering away systematically until all their objectives are achieved. On the other side, the West will just keep propping up the regime and pushing out PR and false flags and war crimes. It's all extremely costly and dreadful and will continue on course.
The only thing I can see altering that is if the populace of Ukraine wakes up and starts pushing back against the regime themselves. There's certainly a flood of Ukrainian nationalist resistance propaganda being pushed on them, but I have yet to see any information on whether any truth is getting through to them.
Even brave Ukie patriots would want it over with instead of everything getting ground to bits in a doomed and pointless resistance. Hopefully some of the POWs will get info back to their families and word will spread that it's over militarily and that their real enemies are right in Kiev/Kyiv/Poland.
russia stated a week ago today that they would be shooting down "any and all cargo planes" that are supplying ukrainian forces and azovs with equipment that can be used to attack russia, or continue the fight against the donbass and other eastern regions.
