No expert neither, but given that the video feed was still working after the drone entered the dugout, I suspected it was fiberoptic.

Zelensky remains popular, but it's true that Ukraine is still a flawed democracy. That said, foreign pressure of this kind isn't unusual - when the U.S. imposed tariffs, the EU responded by targeting key Republican districts with countermeasures. Still, the overall direction isn’t encouraging. That said, we're far from Russian-style authoritarianism in Ukraine.

Ukrainians will sleep a lot better tonight, it was never about them.
Mission accomplished! (Like Bush.) Putin can declare victory.
I haven't read the article yet, but he is taking selfies in Ukraine, so he is reliable and everything he says is true.

Sorry, only the "secondary" objective.

A bit strange the "primary" one: 'preventing Ukraine’s full Western integration and viability as an independent state' when willing to give back the "land corridor" in 2022 and happy with Ukraine joining the EU. (It could be that Putin thinks that Ukraine will join the EU at the same time as Turkey will.)
On the other hand, Trump seems to be doing the 'undermining the West' part all by himself.
The confirmation bias part is interesting too. As the head of RUSI provides a conclusion, it has to be true. What will be the point to check how to reach that conclusion? Or its merit? It is just faith.
To me, it looks like some old news put together and conclusions for an eight year old. The part about drones just fantasy, but we see a lot of that anyway.
Putin’s endgame in Ukraine – and why it won’t finish there
World affairs editor Sam Kiley has been covering Ukraine since the Russian invasion of 2014. Here he looks at the current state of the conflict, the likelihood of a lasting ceasefire and what Russian leader Vladimir Putin is planning next
