Russia has been surprisingly quiet, are they winning or are things not going as planned?

Russia certainly needs to do better on the PR and propaganda front. Calling the jewish oligarchic government of Ukraine "Nazis" surely isn't helping. They should stick with reality and drop the laughable soviet framing that will only convince octagenarian babushkas and the most retarded tankies.

edit: deploying Chechen hordes into the heart of Ukraine is also a horrific look and borderline insane move in PR terms, to say the least. I can only hope that Russia manages to pacify Ukraine soon, but things are looking worse than I initially expected, especially considering Putin needs a quick victory as the war is hardly popular among the Russian populace. Though it is true that the hardcore information war being waged primarily by the West makes it almost impossible to accurately evaluate the situation. I guess we'll have to wait.

      Following troop movements in real time on telegram has honestly been the most fun thing about this war God bless these channels

      He does not at all seem interested in obtaining hard right support for this war. As far as I can tell, he's attempting to protect Russian reputation by providing strict regulations for the behaviour and conduct of the invasion, but given the Ukrainian response and the way Western media is reporting on this, I don't think his strategy will bear any fruit.

        I must say that I did not expect him to send in Chechen forces, especially because I don't think there was a need for that at all. From what I am seeing though it still seems that the Russian army is trying to limit civilian casualties and damage to non-military infrastructure.
