�� If we take as a whole the speeches of Putin and Shoigu at the collegium of the Russian Defense Ministry

The whole country is looking at the Russian Armed Forces, wishes you success, good luck, I have no doubt that all our goals will certainly be achieved - Putin

1. The war with the West in Ukraine will be long. The course towards achieving the goals of the SMO does not change. For the official list of SMO targets, see Putin's speech on February 24 (plus Kherson and Zaporozhye regions). Unofficial goals can be interpreted quite broadly.

2. There will be no agreements, because the West is not ready to recognize Russia's rights to equal treaties with it. We did not fit into the "civilized world". Fine.

3. The army will receive more resources - material, financial, human. But without fanaticism, so as not to undermine the economy.
The concept of "guns instead of butter" is not our choice. They will try to find a reasonable balance.
Next year, the army will receive many different weapons, much more than in 2021-2022. There will also be more drones.

4. Various mistakes of the pre-war period regarding the supply of troops, the mobilization system, repair capacities, underestimation of the role of drones and the concepts of multi-domain operations are veiledly recognized. Criticism of shortcomings is considered desirable.

5. The army is waiting for a fairly significant reform, which is both a consequence of various shortcomings revealed during the SMO, and an increase in the threat from the United States and NATO. The sovereignty of the country will be based on the growth of the capabilities of our nuclear triad as the only reliable guarantor of military-political sovereignty.

So, literally Russia is using Ukraine as a training ground? . So unfair.
