Putin knowing he's losing makes him even more dangerous. Cornered rats fight the hardest.
I agree, we need to up the pressure and remove every avenue but total war.
Maybe they teach Europe a new path of awareness this way.
hat said, they deal in crimes right?

Approximately 85% of the
Moscow empire's territory is unsuitable for permanent comfortable living, as permafrost (regions of Siberia and the Far East) occupies 60% of the
Moscow empire's territory, swamps and waterlogged lands cover almost 22%, and rivers and lakes account for about 4%. Another part of the lands is periodically flooded, some are occupied by mountains and forests, a small portion by ravines, and some by deserts and salt flats.
According to a 2005 report by the State Statistics Committee, 2.2 million square kilometers in the
Moscow empire are cultivated or used in agriculture, of which only 1.2 million are arable land. Settlements of all types in the country occupy 0.2 million square kilometers, industrial facilities and military purposes occupy 0.2 million, and other uses account for 0.1 million. For a comfortable life,
Muscovites are left with 2,561,289 square kilometers. This is 15% of the territory, meaning the real
Moscow empire is slightly larger than Sudan, but smaller than Kazakhstan.
Average January temperatures, depending on the region, range from 0 to -50°C, July from 1 to 25°C. Precipitation ranges from 150 to 2000 mm per year. At temperatures below -5°C, infrastructure maintenance costs increase exponentially with each degree below zero. It takes more than 30 days to clear 40 cm of snow in St. Petersburg.
The
Moscow empire accounts for less than 2% of the global GDP. The main export items (according to the Federal Customs Service) are gas and oil (70%), primary metals (15%), round timber (10%), with everything else, including equipment, armaments, and technologies, making up less than 5%.
According to soil scientists, 17.8% of agricultural land in the
Moscow empire is subject to water erosion, 8.4% to wind erosion, overwetted and waterlogged lands occupy 12.3% of the areas, and saline, solonetzic lands occupy 20.1%. Only 0.91 million square kilometers of land in the
Moscow empire are not affected by all these adversities. The agricultural season in most of the
Moscow empire's territory lasts 2-3 months (in Europe or the USA, it's 8-9 months). The average annual grain yield in the
Moscow empire (on non-chernozems) is about 17 centners, while in Germany, France, and Great Britain (on non-chernozems) it is 70 centners per hectare, in Sweden – 60, in Ireland – 85, and in Ukraine (on chernozems) – only 24.
The state border of the
Moscow empire stretches for 58,322 km and has 424 border crossings. The total number of settlements is 157,895, of which more than 30,000 still lack telephone communication. Most of the 39,000 abandoned villages and settlements are located in the Central Federal District, Northwest, Far North, and Siberia.
