I’m increasingly hearing and reading the following comments from Russians in regards to the war in Ukraine:

“The war is wrong, but we cannot allow to lose now. Everything what has been invested in this war would have been lost and it all would have been in vain.”

You know how this is called?

@Tendar I hope Russian elites need a couple of more serious Ukrainian victories to begin thinking that waiting will lead to more problems. I think it is possible that one Kremlin faction might already think that it is time to stop the war. It could possibly explain Prigozhin video (the morning before his big move) where he burned the whole Russian propaganda (Russians are plundering the Donbass, Ukraine was not destroying the Donbass, no threat of Ukrainian or NATO attack against Russia in 2022)
