Russian going for talk with Ukraine in Belarus on Monday. But Putin gave his navy ultimate task to control Ukraine coastline and specially Odessa port. Once the coastline cut off that is the end of game. Russia has no interest in Rest of Ukraine. This is new game, the result will be out in 2023. Actual target is someone else too.

My guesses are the Russians kept this invasion on the light side since they wanted Ukraine in one piece while forcing a negotiated settlement.
They kept it on the light side to keep Ukrainebin one-piece, I agree with that part.

But not the part about a negotiated settlement.

The Russians thought the Ukrainians would be a cake walk, that they'd be home in a few days after installing a new government. By not using heavy weapons, they'd keep all the infrastructure in place for their puppet government to use.

Now they're stuck, and have committed themselves too much.

The fact that they've resorted to seiging cities is evidence that the Russians have so far achieved nothing, except for unifying Europe and NATO, the exact opposite of what was happening due to infighting, and the exact opposite of what Russia and China wanted.

Yes Chechens will be fighting as they are from Russia.

Well, I asked because some Chechens seem to be also fighting alongside the Ukranian government. But yes, Kadyrov's Chechens, as you indicated, are on the Russian side.

The fact that they've resorted to seiging cities is evidence that the Russians have so far achieved nothing, except for unifying Europe and NATO, the exact opposite of what was happening due to infighting, and the exact opposite of what Russia and China wanted.

Well, Zelensky has become desperate so soon that he has had to resort to making appeal for international fighters to enter the war.

You don't need to attack them by air, Russia does not take a lot of ground around Kyiv, there are artillery deployed along. You don't need fast air, a single artillery regiment (15 guns) with a spotter hiding somewhere would reek havoc to this convoy. You don't need to hit the entire length of the convoy, you only need to hit the head of the convoy, it would stop, Because there are like 1000 tanks and truck in there tightly pack without spacing, you can't reverse 1000 tanks and trucks at the same time.

And Russia does not even have total air superiority anyway, Ukrainian still launch sortie and I am pretty sure Ukraine did intercept this convoy.

According to the video, the "3km" convoy got bombed last night

That is such a naive reading of the war.
This war strengthens China, which is Pakistan's strongest ally. And you are talking about some weapons which Pakistan could acquire from other places?? And India paid hard cash for the Russian arms. Even here you'd see some Indian members are siding with the West against Russia. There are no permanent friends or enemies--only permanent interests for nations.
I don't know how anyone can miss the evolving geopolitical situation of Iran, Pakistan, China and Russia aligning their policies.
Don't call people naive, when you miss basic facts.

It may strengthen China, but it weakens Pakistan, as a vital supplier of military parts for Pakistan is no longer able to supply those parts. Pakistan uses a shit ton of Ukrainian engines for its tank forces, and replacing those tank engines is gonna cost a lot of money and time.

It also limits Pakistan's list of foreign suppliers. Relying entirely on a single supplier will erode Pakistan's sovereignty.

For Russia and India, yes Indians paid cash, but that's because they could afford it. There is a reason why Russians always go to Pakistan, whenever the Indians say they'll side deals with the US. Its blackmail. If the Russians were so friendly towards Pakistan, they'd be selling the RD-93 directly to Pakistan, instead of to China.

Pakistan is not aligning its policy with Iran or any other country. Its aligning itself to a more neutral stance, that just happens to be China friendly. With the Russia sanctions, you can also kiss increased economic and military relations with them goodbye.
