In a scaled-back formulation of its war goals, Russia said on Friday that the first phase of its military operation was mostly complete and it would focus on completely "liberating" Ukraine's breakaway eastern Donbass region.

This is, to say the least, a substantial shift from the earlier goal of unseating the Ukrainian government. We’ll see how things shake out from here with the separatists in the Donbass region, possession of Crimea, future NATO aspirations for Ukraine, rebuilding efforts in Ukraine, and the potential for food shortages after the disruption in Ukraine’s wheat harvest for this year.

Russias goal was always the demilitarisation and denazification of Ukraine. There were no details what that means for the future of Ukraine, so it will definitely be interesting what happens in the next weeks.

Killing ~300 women, children, and elderly sheltering in that theatre is not really going to get Ukrainians on-side about demilitarization.

Is there any single picture or video of these alleged dead people? Otherwise its impossible to believe, because Ukraine propaganda pumps out so many lies every day.

I saw claims that the mariupol theater was bombed by russia but also claims that it was rigged with explosives by the ukrainian military. Honestly i don’t believe anything without compelling evidence. What i know is that the theater was destroyed and people died.
