Russians sunk several barges at the entrance of their naval port pier in Novorossiysk, so that no other Ukrainian drone can enter it.

Incredible operation: The Ukrainian Security Service (SSU) attacked a Russian Kilo-class submarine in the Novorossiysk seaport using an underwater drone known as “Sub Sea Baby.” According to the official SSU statement, the submarine sustained critical damage.

I’m just an armchair expert, but the window of opportunity for Russia is about 2028-2030. They can rearm sufficiently to pull a repeat of Georgia by then, and Europes rearmament won’t be ramped up until 2030-31ish.
The challenge with the 5 years being communicated for NATO members to get ready is that with Russia’s logic it provides them with a deadline of less than 5 years. It should be 2 years to underline urgency and then focus on what European members critically lacks.
NATO Chief Mark Rutte urged member countries to do more to prepare for the possibility of large-scale war, warning that Russia may be ready to attack the alliance within five years.

An employee born in 2005, Timur Konovalov, was involved in these tests, which were probably not coordinated with Kazakhstan.
He would go to Kazakhstan with special equipment and SIM cards from Ukraine, Spain, the Czech Republic, Romania, Moldova, Poland, Turkey, Lithuania, and Slovakia.

The Russians believe that they still have time and that the negotiations can be dragged out further. Putin insists on extremely far-reaching demands, which he is not going to give up.

Power politics is a trait virtually all European leaders have lost. I have laid out that if Europe and especially the largest nations like Germany, France or UK are not military intervening, they all will be eventually sidelined and still be a military target.
