It is not a war against Putin. He just plays a villain role. It was all planned to be.
The only question is what is the end game for world elites.
I hope to be wrong, but facts go in direction of my worst fears.
1. Putin had exposed the bulk of Russian military to heavy losses in Kiev instead of trying to take control of the border crossings. 2. Mariupol could be simply left encircled with army advancing to encircle main Ukrainian forces at Donbass.
3...
3. Russia after the sanctions imports next to nothing, it has a trade surplus of 22 billion. The imports could be easily covered by exports to other regions, but it continues to supply energy to EU, which in turn supplies Ukraine with billions of Euros of weapons.
4. Russia argumentation on Bucha and Borodyanka in UNSC was of very low level, allowing the Western blame shifting and continuation of its dehumanization strategy of Russian people. This, despite the facts readily available.
5. While Ukraine is moving in all weapons possible, Russian volunteers for DNR experience difficulties to bring through Russian-DNR border even the most basic equipment, including quadcopters.

It is claimed that they were detained on 23 of March, but it is not clear if they were detained by Russia or SBU.
Ukrainian officials claimed they were on prisoner exchange list this should be easily verifiable.
Here is a link to the interview of a girlfriend of Alexander Suhenko
She affirms that she was informed that the family was on prisoner exchange list, details unclear, but we know at least one similar case. Mayor of Melitopol was exchanged for 7 Ru POWs.
But we also have very different examples from SBU.
On 24th of March the Mayor of Kupiansk recorded a video plea to Zelensky and SBU to release his kidnapped daughter, after she was taken hostage because of his collaboration with Russia.
Borodyanka, where Ukranian MRLS attack on Russian column destroyed 2 residential buildings.
As always Russia was blamed or implicitly assumed to be responsible.
In reality buildings were destroyed by Ukrainian MRLS shelling came from North East in a direction of a Lenin street on which column was moving. Most rockets seem to have hit those 2 buildings.
Video of Russian vehicles destroyed in this attack. Multiple impacts of MRLS rockets can be seen around.
