Apparently the leader of the Donetsk separatist region announced a suspension of mobilisations recently, saying no more troops are required. And odd declaration in the middle of a war. Either they've realised they're screwed or something unforeseen is about to happen. On the whole, I think Putin has been reading his own press a bit - thinking the Ukrainians would roll over and in parts welcome his 'liberating' force, but instead he's getting his nose bloodied by a well armed, well trained, well coached, resilient populace and army. He's being absolutely embarrassed on the world stage by a comedian. It must be killing him.
