-Russia will create a bufferzone in UKraine to limit UKraine/NATO long(er) range attacks inside Russia...

-Belarus president/dictator lukashenko visited Putin at the same time a US delegation was in Moscow; may signal new Minsk-talks...

-Using French satellites (replacing US ones) UKraine/NATO used himars to attack more Russian civilian targets...

DJ-One of the reasons why Napoleon invaded Russia was to create a continental trade system-beat the UK. The UK was the main power risking Napoleon/France its position...

Loosing the Russian war in 1812 did end NApoleon...

The Crimean War was yet another UK-France-Türkiye conflict...limiting Russia-securing a.o. British India. (Russia and the UK had some conflicts as well in Afghanistan and western China/Uyghur-country...)
