    Ah mais si les Russes commencent à s’entretuer, ça va un peu accélérer les choses.

    Western officials have said they believe a Russian commander was run over and killed by mutinous forces during the fighting in Ukraine, in a sign of what they described as the “morale challenges” faced by the invading forces.

    They highlighted – and repeated – reports from earlier this week from a Ukrainian journalist that a colonel of the 37th separate guards motor rifle brigade was run over by a tank and subsequently died of his injuries.

    One official said they believed that the brigade commander was “killed by his own troops” as “a consequence of the scale of losses that had been taken by his brigade” in the bitter fighting.

    • Vu l’impréparation de l’offensive russe, on pourrait s’attendre à une rébellion des militaires qui en font les frais. Et plus globalement, la population pourrait pour de vrai se soulever. Je n’arrête pas de me dire que Poutine va se prendre un retour de bâton dont il ne se remettra pas. Je ne suis pas experte en la matière, c’est juste comme ça que je ressens ce merdier.
