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.
