IMHO it was hard negotiations with the use of international mechanisms. By the way, Poland never said that it will completely stop helping Ukraine.
Yes, indeed.
From the very start of the Pootin’s rule, Ruscists have been burning money and lives essentially to keep Pootin in power and to restore the empire. Retreating back is unacceptable simply because it undermines Pootin’s power and buries imperial dreams.
Yes, Ukraine had to give up those temporarily, until it breached the Ruscist defence lines.
Thank you for your kind care, we really need this.

They need combined arms warfare - but adapted to realities of the Russo-Ukrainian war.
“The truck-mounted systems are estimated to cost $12 million each.”
I also think that it is rather some social media propaganda. You can watch Streamable via VPN.
Yes, the Gorbachev era was a golden time of unheard of freedom and international cooperation. You could observe how people joyfully opened up to new opportunities.

Putin’s Russia is more gentle on its own population, but it is potentially more dangerous internationally. Soviet Union more or less abided by the rules of international order, contributed to the demise of old-world imperialism, and almost never issued nuclear threats. Putin’s Russia is an outright bandit state, openly ignoring any international rules and conducting acts of terror - like the Islamic State. If not stopped now, it can start in the future a devastating world war without any remorse.

Machos feel truly alive when they are at war. They show friendliness only out of necessity, when they are weak. Accordingly, they perceive friendliness as a weakness, as an opportunity to press forward. So macho’s dog has to be big and aggressive.
They have increased arms spending several times, as soon as they understood what the 2014 annexation of Crimea portends to them: https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2016-10-19/baltics-states-have-doubled-arms-spending-since-putin-s-advance Now they prudently give a lot of arms to Ukraine, to prevent any possibility of Ruscist success.

The main concern of a Russian officer is to keep his position. And the way to do this is to produce optimistic reports to the faraway high command, or be fired. He can’t procure any valuable resources due to sanctions, so he uses anything he has just to show he does something. He cares about his position above everything else, so this decision is quite rational for him.
Why not? In this particular case, Kremlin’s propaganda narrative of Poland being anti-Russian is only strengthened.
