Russia abandoning more objectives...(how is that too short or invalid)

Institute for the Study of War: Russia has likely abandoned objective to encircle Ukrainian units from Donetsk to Izium to complete seizure of Luhansk Oblast. The U.S. think tank said in its May 15 report that Russian forces continue a coordinated effort to seize Sievierodonetsk, a town in Luhansk Oblast, from the north and the south, and their command will likely prioritize the battle of Sievierodonetsk going forward. Russia’s advances to Sloviansk from Izium have been scaling down possibly due to the “slow pace of the offensive operation there,” the report reads.

The Russians are moving tactical nuclear weapons toward the Finnish border.
Also, Putin has twice hinted that European NATO nations, and perhaps even the US, should be prepared to experience something they have not experienced before.

If so, they only had to move some of the nukes that were near the Estonian border 50 miles south of St Petersburg toward the Finnish border, 50 miles north of St Petersburg.

@Thinkerbell I You seem well-versed on this subject. All I know is what I read in the news and glean from a friend who's mother owns property in Eastern Europe.

@ProfessorPlum77 And Russia will experience severe isolation for the rest of recorded history if it does anything.
