No shite. Don't be so quick to criticize, think before you post. Let me make it clearer for you, Maybe -

1. Lukashenko has smelled the coffee and wants to open talks with the opposition; or

2. Someone else in Minsk has smelled the coffee and wants to open talks with the opposition.

Either way, her presence in Kyiv is very significant. First, she is recognized as the sole leader of Belarusian opposition, No other false front party confusing the issue. Her acceptance as such by Kyiv underlines critical Ukrainian and Western backing,

Secondly, Kyiv is making a big deal out of the visit by a person that has been hiding under a rug for years. Now she is the 'leader of the opposition' and the legitimate representative of the Belarusian people. These things didn't just happen overnight.

Let's keep an eye on this situation.

Interesting per Habitual Linecrosser, the reason Russia doesn't have payloads on its Oreshnik is that it becomes aerodynamically unstable with any additional load.

ISW announces that the war has (in their view) entered a new stage, and that the balance has shifted in favor of Ukraine.

Lavrov told US Secretary of State Marco Rubio that Russia’s army is “beginning” systematic strikes on sites in Kyiv that Moscow claims are used by Ukraine’s military. He also repeated Russia’s call for foreign missions to evacuate staff and citizens from Kyiv.

Russian analysts are sounding alarms over the prospect of Ukraine scaling raids to 1,000 drones after the May 17 attack on Moscow exposed gaps in Russian air defenses. OBOZ says the raid highlighted shortages of air defense systems and missiles, technical problems with Pantsir-S1 units and steady Ukrainian destruction of Russian air defense assets, while Ukraine’s drone output keeps rising.

Russia is preparing to declare mobilization, and has begun the mass distribution of “mobilization orders” to the country’s citizens.

Mobilization orders are issued at military commissariats, where individuals liable for military service are summoned under the pretext of “clarifying personal data.”

This document contains instructions regarding what a citizen must do in the event of mobilization being declared: where and when to report, and what items to bring.

A representative of one military commissariat described this to the publication as “preparation for general mobilization.”

Her first visit to Kyiv and she meets with the A List. The musical chairs in Minsk will start very soon but only those friendly to Ukraine will hear the music.

Now Russia’s full-scale war is not only against Ukraine, but also against the very format of such a Europe

I don’t agree with this. Russia had no plans to attack the European Union. It was the expansion of the European Union, by means of government subversion, that Russia attacked. I hasten to point out that Russia was also subverting these governments, just not so effectively.

It's Russia's last (or at least Putin's) last grasp of power and influence over eastern Europe. Russia can't win in the marketplace of ideas so they have to try to win on the battlefield, which also isn't going well

It’s true that Russia is losing in “the marketplace of ideas”, but this fight was largely involving brainwashing - by both sides.

He's right but it's not an option, it's an approaching train wreck.
