So far the g****vine is:
Russia has indeed embarked on a full scale invasion of Ukraine. Air attacks, and ground forces. There has been at least one missile strike, there have been front-line Ukranian casualities ( have seen video, cannot post it here, too graphic).
Footage of an airstrike hitting Lutsk:

Belarus has thrown in with Russia/is issuing support.
Reports of Ukrainian air defence having shot down multiple Russian planes, either drones or fighters.

Vlad has stated he's willing to negotiate but that's not being reciprocated, and negotiations are well overdue. At this point no decisions made by the US-backed Zelensky regime benefits the Ukrainian people can or will benefit them immediately nor long-term. It's just a ******* disaster everywhere you look.
Despite all the arms and aid sent to Ukraine, Russia continues to expand its foothold. The ruble is being more widely circulated than it was prior to the War and holds firm. Sanctions, aid, arms--none of it has worked. More people are dying, more people are being displaced.
I very much doubt 40B packages to Ukraine and arms can or will continue and without continued cash flow Ukraine basically collapses overnight. This is what is propping up their entire war effort, and the longer it goes on, and the more people in the US, but moreso the EU, suffer as a result of it, the more pressure there will be to desist. It's inevitable, especially with midterms looming in the US. The gloss has worn off.
Some kind of treaty needs to be hammered out now, not later. There won't be a later.

To the contrary, it reminds me of something I saw on the news a while back where a reporter asked a Ukrainian soldier on their views on the politics of the war and whether they should seek peace to live to fight another day and the soldier replied something along the lines of "why would be spare ourselves for later when there won't be anything worth fighting for later?" He's not right or wrong, just an interesting opinion from him. It'd be interesting to see if that's a common sentiment among the Ukrainian fighters but I wouldn't be surprised if it was. What I will say is that the ones still fighting voluntarily for their country despite the current outlook are made of something else!

@Xconchris Traditionalist Orthodox Russia is not Nazi Germany. Most of the Nazis are fighting with Ukrainians funnily given that Ukraine has a rich Jewish history. In Russia Nazis have to go low key or face court martial and jail.

Russia is not blackmailing the world? :) :) :) Russia says: it will be like I said, or I will kill civilians, seize territories, and may also use nuclear weapons - is this not blackmail?
And I think the world reacted precisely to threats to use nuclear weapons. This is unacceptable to civilized countries.
