More than 9 months have passed since the Russian invasion of Ukraine on 24th February 2022. Here we look at the different stages of the conflict and particularly how Russia has adapted its approach over time. We cover the 3 phases, 5 fronts, how Russia and Ukraine reacted. We also look at statements by Prof. Neitzel and discuss Russian morale on a different level than before. Cover design by vonKickass. Cover Image 1: Vitaly V.
