Exclusive: US says Russia's Wagner Group bought North Korean weapons for Ukraine war
The private Russian military company, the Wagner Group, took delivery of an arms shipment from North Korea to help bolster Russian forces in Ukraine, a sign of the group's expanding role in that conflict, the White House said on Thursday.
They've moved a lot of armour up there as well as people, so it's certainly more likely than not based on the information available. But it could also be a ruse to keep Ukrainian forces spread between North and South.

Russian oil and refined petroleum are being reexported to the EU via India.
Finally we should get through the winter quite easily.
The issue was never this year. Winter 2023 requires new suppliers.
Depends on numbers. It could be for training the reserves rather than for an offensive from the north, although that's possible.

Not what you were saying 6 months ago.
That must be why none of his aircraft are flying over Kyiv, or the vast majority of Ukraine.

Your assessment of this war seems to be spot on. Check this interview:
Our latest interview with Jacques Baud | MR Online
Jacques Baud (JB): The aim of this book is to show how the misinformation propagated by our media has contributed to push Ukraine in the wrong direction. I wrote it under the motto “from the way we understand crises derives the way we solve them.”mronline.org
Like reading my own posts.
LOLZ.
And why use expensive cruise missiles if said Shithead drones can do the job?
Why lose dozens of aircraft trying before buying Shathed drone from Iran then?

Wow, that St. Petersburg city councillor must not enjoy his life of something.
Hard to tell, but I doubt it.
They need to take the south first. Once that's done, whether they want to take Kiev or not will be a political decision.
It's a problem for EUROPE (read Germany) France will have its nuclear power plant ready, gas accounts for only 16% of our energy consumption compared to 40% in Germany. And it comes mainly from Africa and the Middle East where we have long-term contracts.
Inflation in Germany will affect France. People who lose jobs in Germany will come to France.
Otoh, France will have to sell electricity to Germany to keep France's economy afloat.
And this doesn't consider any radical change in the EU's security situation.
Congratulations, you've found a useful idiot from Switzerland.

Conspiracism
According to journalist Antoine Hasday, published by Conspiracy Watch, an interview Jacques Baud gave to RT France "ticks all the boxes of geopolitical conspiracism. Baud, who is sometimes invited by the traditional media, has also appeared on the extreme right-wing web television channel TV Libertés, as well as previously on RT France. Interviewed on the latter channel by Frédéric Taddeï in September 2020, he minimized the human toll of the war in Darfur, which he reduced to 2,500 deaths (compared to 300,000 according to the UN), and denied the responsibility of the Syrian army in the massacres in Homs in 2011 and in the chemical attacks in Ghouta, Khan Cheikhoun and Douma between 2013 and 2018. Taking up the official argument of the Syrian regime of Bashar al-Assad, he also asserts that the photographs taken by the military photographer "Caesar" are not those of political opponents who died under torture, but of soldiers of the Syrian army. Jacques Baud also clears Russia by saying that the poisoning of Sergei and Yulia Skripal was caused by "food poisoning" and that the poisoning of Alexei Navalny is probably "the work of the mafia ".
