Do you have an actual issue with the premise, or just that he said it too early before?
If you disagree I'd love to hear why.

Consistently posting pro-Russian propaganda. How many other places are you doing this?

That is an easy one. It has been obvious for 3 years that Russia lacks the tactics/strategy and mobility to make any large breakthrough. Otherwise, they would have been able to overrun Ukraine by now, at least to the Dnipro. It's been a small farm field by small farm field by settlement by settlement all of this time. They should have been able to make an end run early in the war when they broke through at Popasna on an east/west ridge.

Klitschko addressed Zelensky and accused the new leadership of the military administration of the Ukrainian capital of trying to unbalance power and destroy local self-government
"The new head of the KMV, without military education and experience, who replaced combat generals in the position, is blocking the solution of key economic issues. Restoration of damaged houses, compensation for affected residents, restoration of infrastructure and others," the mayor of Kiev claims.

‘Ukraine needs an immediate ceasefire’ – former Zelensky press secretary Yulia Mendel dreams of rearming the country
‘Even a temporary ceasefire could allow us to strengthen the defenses we failed to build before the invasion. A ceasefire would give us the opportunity to strengthen our borders, strengthen our forces, and prepare for what might happen. If Russia resumes aggression, at least we will be standing on solid ground, not on crumbling foundations.’

That is disgusting.

For around 2 years of that they weren't even really trying to make gains. The lines were stagnant more or less with very few significant assaults. In raw land area their gains now are mostly small, but tactically some of them have been fairly significant or are clear steps toward tactically significant gains.
Ukraine has/had a very strong military, I don't think its looking at the situation objectively if you're expecting Russia to just steamroll ahead with tanks and mechanized units into Kyiv. I do think Russia adapted better than some on here give them credit for (though not overly well) to the switch to an attrition war, and I don't see a situation where Russia won't start making larger gains in the future just by nature of the tactically important positions they are encroaching on.

Syria asks Russia for reparations

Syria asks Russia for reparations
quote:
Syria’s new government pressed Moscow about reparations in their first meeting with a Kremlin delegation since the downfall of staunch Russian ally Bashar al-Assad’s regime last month. Russian officials led by Mikhail Bogdanov, a deputy foreign minister, travelled to Damascus for a round of talks with Syria’s new authorities, which included a meeting with de facto leader Ahmed al-Sharaa on Tuesday.
Russia said it was prepared to help Syria with postwar reconstruction efforts but admitted making no progress in talks over the future of its strategically important air base and naval port in the country.
“Discussions focused on key issues, including respect for Syria’s sovereignty and territorial integrity,” according to the Syrian state news summary of the talks between al-Sharaa, formerly known by his nom de guerre Abu Mohammad al-Jolani, and Bogdanov.
“The dialogue highlighted Russia’s role in rebuilding trust with the Syrian people through concrete measures such as reparations, reconstruction and recovery,” the statement said, stressing that restoring relations with Moscow must involve addressing “past mistakes”.
The Syrian statement did not elaborate on the type of compensation Damascus was seeking. Russia’s foreign ministry said its delegation had expressed its “readiness to give the Syrian people the help they need to rebuild the country after the crisis” during “frank” discussions.

I've also read reports that they want to extradite Assad.
Will Putin trade Assad for a warm water port? I think it's highly likely.

Ukraine is now on track to completely destroy russia’s oil industry
January 29, 2025 at 10:35 AM
full list of January oil industry strikes...
On January 4, drones covered a distance of over 900 kilometers, successfully striking Russia’s largest seaport, Ust-Luga, in the Leningrad region.
On January 8, drones traveled approximately 1,000 kilometers to hit an oil depot in Engels, a key fuel supplier for a military airfield.
On January 10, several areas of Russia’s Rostov region fell victim to a combination of missiles and drones targeting a plant for the production of propellant for ballistic missiles as well as weapons warehouses and a military training base.
On January 11, multiple locations, including Russian-occupied Crimea and several Russian cities, came under attack. A fire erupted in the port area of Novorossiysk, located 500 kilometers from the border.
On January 14, drones struck an oil depot in Engels, the Orgsintez plant in Kazan, the Saratov Oil Refinery, and the Bryansk Chemical Plant.
On January 15, an oil depot in the Voronezh region, about 200 kilometers from the Ukrainian border, caught fire.
On January 16, drones traveled more than 400 kilometers to reach the Tambov Gunpowder Plant.
On January 17, another drone strike targeted the Engels oil depot, where Russian authorities had just extinguished a six-day fire. This marked the third attack in two weeks.
On January 18, drones hit oil depots in Russia’s Tula and Kaluga regions.
On January 20, drones targeted aircraft manufacturing facilities in Kazan, 1,000 kilometers from the border, while also revisiting a familiar oil depot in the Voronezh region.
On January 21, drone strikes reached military-industrial sites in Smolensk, located 300 kilometers from the border.
On January 24, drones conducted successful strikes in Ryazan and Bryansk—over 500 and 110 kilometers from the border, respectively. In Ryazan, an oil refinery was illuminated by explosions, while in Bryansk, the Kremniy El plant was also hit.
On January 26, UAVs once again struck the Ryazan Oil Refinery, more than 500 kilometers from the border.
On January 29, drones successfully hit one of Russia’s largest oil refineries, located in Kstovo in the Nizhny Novgorod region, approximately 800 kilometers from the Ukrainian border.
