One could interprete the events as Russia's confession that it realises it cannot further conquer more of Ukraine and cannot keep what it already took. They now switch to the thinking of "If we cannot take it, then we destroy it so that they cannot own it any longer, too."

This was always a war of annihilating Ukraine and Ukrainians. Putin said so from before the war on, when he rejected any right of Ukraine and Ukrainians to even exist.

The Nord Stream 2 thing turns slowly against Ukraine, it seems. If in the end they find Ukraine having given the order for this strike on the pipelines, then this is the one event that will make me reversing 180° and wanting to immediately stop all German support of any kind, immediately. It would be a total no-go to strike infrastructure of another supposed friendly nation whom one demands to help onself, and while raising this demand bombing its pipelines. Unforgivable. In that case I would say: let Ukraine see for itself how to get through this. No more money, no more repairs, no more ammo, no more tanks, nothing. All that is already in transit to Ukraine - reverse and RTB. I wouldn't forgive such betrayal. Its not even about the pipeline in the first. Its about the betrayal itself.

For the moment, again this warning: it could be a false flag operation by the Russians, designed to blame Ukraine. This must be ruled out.
