RT: Putin holds top brass meeting on Ukraine  

The Russian president heard proposals on immediate and medium-term plans for the conflict  

Russian President Vladimir Putin has sat down with the country’s top military commanders to discuss the Ukraine conflict, the Kremlin revealed on Saturday. The agenda revolved around Moscow’s actions in the short and medium term.

According to the Kremlin’s readout of the meeting, “throughout Friday, the president worked at the joint headquarters of the military branches involved in the special military operation.” It did not provide details on where the meeting took place.

WNU Editor: The New York Times is correct. This is a rare visit by Putin to the Ukraine War Room .... Putin Makes Rare Visit to Ukraine War Headquarters (DNYUZ/New York Times). 

What this meeting signals to me is that the Generals have developed a plan, and they are briefing President Putin on what they want to do. Putin himself said that he had come to listen to his commanders’ proposals about the Russian military’s “short- and medium-term movements.” 

One more point. And I believe it is an important one. 

At the conclusion of this meeting I did not get the impression that Russia is preparing a large-scale ground offensive operation anytime soon.

The Ukrainians are going to wait until the Russians commit. Then they are going to hammer them with their attack and in repelling the Russians attack.

Many Russia soldiers will die of hunger and weather.

He did give some conscripts vests. Some received aluminum scale mail from the 1970s. It can turn a knife but not a bullet.

Scale mail. What is next?
